But to specifically answer your question, Brian: I'm not ready to post specifics yet, as I'm still early in the design spiral. But to get what we...
Turbina About the right dimensions, but far heavier (steel and steam turbine). Many similar vessels around this time (late 19th century) chiefly...
Piquent by Herreshoff also exceeds the regression models, 45 feet long, 8,000 lbs, twin gas engines, 15 nmpg at 15 knots.
... Here is another, its "only" 40' long, and it does have training wheels, but it actually exceeds the regression models for performance.
Brian, I just plugged those dimensions into several regression models. As you know, the regression models really don't need much information about...
Sea sickness. Fumes and smells. Fear of damaging (or sinking) the boat. Physical pain from frequent maintenance activities (cramped systems...
Right. I think the fumes were coming in because we did not have the interior over-pressure via airconditioning. I think one reason we had...
Pelagic, I'd also recommend you both go together and crew: do some deliveries, that allow you to see what its really like spending weeks together...
Climbed all over Marlow and Fleming at FLIBS 4 years ago. Very similar as others mentioned. I've spent a few weeks on Fleming 55 and Fleming 65...
... but perhaps the trim of the vessel was altered such that it achieved a more efficient running angle? Such an effect would be limited to narrow...
Oh, and one other thing: I don't believe in perpetual motion machines, so the concept of making a wave you can surf down is bogus.
This is an interesting observation. It would be interesting to try and identify what it is about the above vessel that causes this, because this...
Four numerical models Let's try some modeling instead of just talking. Data: Maine Cat 47 Maine Cat: Home of the 30', 41' sailing catamarans,...

A friend let his cruising permit lapse by a couple of days while the boat was on the hard near Stuart FL waiting out the hurricane season. An...
Thanks for the paper! This is not the only study along these lines. Its an interesting concept: staggering the hulls so the wave trains...
Brian, please directly answer: where is an error in my post? All three of your examples clearly and directly support my post. Which is the...
Would be interesting to know the error. Please share.
