Hulls & Keels • Boat Hydrostatics visualized
Hi everyone,a few years ago I coded a website which showed a kind of calculating sheet regarding boat hydrostatics. It displayed also graphic elements as longitudinal and transversal cross sections of a hull, the shape of the waterline and the righting arm curve. Now I elaborated a webpage with 3D graphics wich are easier to […]
Multihulls • Williwaw hydrofoil
The subject of Wiliwaw, the pioneering hydrofoil trimaran, came up during comments on the (very good) zoom meeting on the Americas Cup. One interesting connection is that Tom Speer, an aerodynamicist who has worked on at least one Cup campaign, has done a very comprehensive design study about what a modern-day (well he did the […]
Multihulls • Re: Asymmetric outrigger hulls or amas
I'm planning to build a drop in outrigger assembly to convert a canoe or similar small boat to a trimaran for sailing.I have tried drop in assemblies, though not yet a trimaran. My additional constraints are that I have previously used an Ally 17 folding canoe, with a skin over and aluminium frame, and I […]
Welcome to the AYRS Forums • Re: Hello from Berlin, Germany
Hello John,thank you for your welcome. Regarding my boat building project: I was starting in a former garage which was just large enough to allow the build of one semi hull at a time. So I had to erect a tent (4 m by 8 m) in my garden to accomodate the further assembling of […]
