Wow, okay that's eye opening. Yes as two examples for what i'm trying to feel out, "places you DONT want to be" because it's a high risk run to...
No no I think there's been a misunderstanding. :) I used the example of "you either build tough or fast" as two theoretical strategies one might...
I've been reading more on related articles, and at this point i'm conceding yes it's mostly looking like the difficulty is prediction. This...
I understand all that, and i'm mostly curious whether 30 knots or even 20 knots is fast enough to "plan a reasonable escape" as things get closer,...
How scary do the sea states get though? Is that notably less intense or substantially out at sea than along the coastline, I mean enough that I...
For obvious reasons of whats in the news right now my mind has been wandering on this topic... There's always two strategies to survive through...
I can't see how? If I build the simplest of catamarans with a totally open deck that's literally mostly frame, replacing one square tube member,...
That's one of several options I was considering yes, I just really prefer shallow draft for it's beachability. And to the previous it's not about...
Thats understandable, so basically what you are saying is "they are pretty hydrodynamically complicated if you want it to perform well and...
My general understanding is that one prop is always the most efficient way to propel a boat (or they wouldnt try to design single screws on...
FYI even though I already had the last post, I just wanted to share that I think I lost interest in the DIY watercraft route... Finding footage...
Pretty self explanatory... just like people who have done various homebrew prop drives of their own design and such, i'm wondering if something...
To original poster and your eight year old post... i'd think a rotary would make a great 'outboard' if you could convert some existing high hp...
To original poster and beyond despite years ago keeping alive a convo I think deserves to continue, I dont know why it isn't more common either -...
Well the craziest personal watercraft are now up to 67mph from the factory (capable of faster but they call it a 'gentlemans agreement' to...
I'm not necessarily assuming I had a superior idea on how to use it yet, in part I was wondering if anyone else had used it for it's strengths and...
I know of it now, that's pretty awesome. Gives me flashbacks to one of the stories that actually inspired my early interest in boats and...
I remember being fascinated with this design ever since I first saw it http://www.rqriley.com/hr.html which apparently can reach 40mph with just...
I am looking for a way to travel a long distance efficiently (like with long thin tapered cat hulls) and be able to travel at nice speed when...
Well first separate the hulls from the rest of the boat itself, like a catamaran with demountable cats. So that the trusses you have between the...
