Student Design, critique?

We are so off the wall it doesn't really matter, but his maximum beam isn't affecting his centre of buoyancy. His maximum waterline beam may be however, and looking at the drawings I'd say its almost exactly between the two mid masts, almost directly above the centre of bulb...looking at his hull form under the waterline, I'd say the LCB is close to maximum beam at waterline. The waterline plane is almost aerofoil shape, hard to see at first.
Still, wrong shaped hull whichever way you crack it, but I see scope to improve it hydrodynamics wise and keep the main thrust of the concept.
Looks like it was done in Rhino or similar ? Can the OP measure the volume below waterline and see where the centroid is relative to the masts / bulb ?

If you want to compare it to an airfoil, it's flying backwards. The bow is to the right and a reversed wave piercing type. The stern is the bit with the overhang.

Yup, I sussed that from the first post....the OP's reference to a Trireme and the direction the sails were facing sort of helped.

Still, once she lays on her side with the rail down, and with her shape, she will definitely go rail down when pressed to weather, her maximum beam and bouyancy will shift aft, and even shift aft of her longitudinal center of mass, so she's going to try to drive the bow under.

While it looks fun on paper, might I recommend a few points of reading which may help in regarding to the overall design and functional seaworthiness once in the water. (if you end up going that route with this or any other design)

Hydrodynamic Modeling Of Sailing Yachts - Harries / Abt / Hochkirch
Manual Of Yacht And Boat Sailing And Architecture - Kemp
Principles of yacht design - Larsson, Eliasson

Enjoy-

Also worth a read is

"Seaworthiness the forgotten factor" by C.A. Marchaj
"Aero-Hydrodynamics of sailing" by C.A. Marchaj
"Skene's elements of yacht design" by Francis S. Kinney ( out of print )

Looking better.
Add proper keep / bulb, chop off the extended keel on the aft, and you'll pick up a another 2 or 3 knots by reducing drag and how much of the boat you are pulling through the water.

Well, we've gone from Star Wars to Civil War, but now you have a much more functional design...

vling, i think u should go back to your original idea and make it work, there's no reason why it cant. u might have to modify the bow and stern slightly (reduce length). your last 2 designs are nice, but they are a bit mainstream. comments?

The thing is, the laws of physics regulate hull design, not the whims of design.

The battens are not a deal killer and do look good IMO. Once you move the mast forward some to where it belongs, the jibs will be at a better angle. (take the square surface of all the sails and then find the median longitudinal point of area, that should be just aft of the center of longitudinal effort. You are now far aft). You also don't have a provision for an overlapping headsail such as a Genoa to take advantage of slot/venturii effect in lighter airs.

Henning, wheres the faith ? vling can i modify your first drawing and get back to u? hate to see a good idea go to waste.

LOL. I'd just turn around the pilot house and sails and run it the other direction, she'd do just fine that way.

Post #13 showed a beautiful piece of art. It kind of went downhill from there.

Execute that esthetic in SS and/or glass, find a gallery, and you might be able to finance your education. Seriously, that design would make a beautiful work of sculpture.
