I LOVE IT! it's everything that is awesome and radical. yet it's not really aroedynamic, is it?

[yipster]

thanks jimminychricket, tri and cat racing sailers argue for a very small cockpit
this is not a racer but fast motorsailor liveaboard 16x8 meter concept with
2 kingsize beds under pilothouse with sitee, badroom etc in the hulls
5x8 to 7x8 meter aft saloon with jacuzzi in the ceiling
6x7 meter pilothouse
6x7 meter flybridge (with pool)
4 flloors in 3 meter high, plus 1 clearance is 4 metr total height
think i better draw some detailed interior to show what i mean
keeping your thoughts in mind

[yipster]

try'd a variation with pilot house aft but int layout dont get better
specially bedrooms aft give little hullspace.
forward pliothouse gives little less sail but may help staying ahead of the wet
and on the sharp bows dont think windage will make much of a difference

[KCook]

Your hull shapes now seem to almost be keels in reverse? That could result in issues with bow steering.

that depends, if the reversed full lenght sharp V wavepiercing bow is not
crooked it, on the contrairy, should provide good liniar stability for long range cruising
no bowrudders intended for close quarters with 2 engines available
detachable bow sections might make sense for colission and production
still not satisfied with mast, should be an A with or without bar, perhaps
made of separete booms and many more things to consider and specify
overall tho, i find it a interesting concept worth further exploring

kCook, jimminychricket and interested, i'm meanwhile thinking of a ladybird with wingsails so here an update (Mod´s note: This is a 2.8 Mb PDF downloading)

[coismov]

The design reminds me of a much larger version of this boat that I saw in Marina del Rey a month ago: It's a 28' ELORCA Ellips Powercat.

[yipster]

thanks for the compliment and there are some similarity's
my ladybird can sail as well, is bout 50ft and wavepiercing

ps. above 3d PDF update is best viewed in v8 and downloads in sec's

[KCook]

Sorry yipster, that PDF is over 10 min on a dialup

i need a some new stuff too but have, they say, 10 meg a sec.
checked again and from here it opens like changing yachforums pages.
dare to comment on the new sail plan?

[yipster]
