Hello, I appreciate the board. I'm an aircraft guy and I am trying to do the impossible. I have Craigcats and I live in the Florida Keys. A billion square miles of water and most of it is 15". So my impossible goal is for the boat is to draft 12". Here is the issue, it has Evinrude ETec 30...
I am in the VERY preliminary stages of a venture using only renewable power sources across great patches of the Pacific. I am not a boat designer so I need some help in figuring out what we will need to pull this off.
Design requirements:
Accommodations for 8+
12,000 pound payload...
So I want to learn to how to determine how much in material I would need to build a 30-40 ft Cat hull out of the following materials. Lets say if I decide on a boat length of 38' and Beam of 18'. With 1/2" foam core. I will mention more attributes because I am digging for tools in case I want to...
I have been looking for designs for a Cat in the 40 range with a bit of speed to it. My main reason for wanting to work with aluminium is because I really hate working with fiberglass.
Does anyone have some links for good alloy designs? OR contacts for people who have built fast multis?
I'm planning a sailing (decent-performance cruising, not racing) catamaran, S/V Hypothetical. Construction is reinforced plastic, cored above waterline. Secondary propulsion will be gasoline outboards in wells.
Hypothetical has a LOA of 12.99m (42.65'), LWL of 12.8m (42'), BOA of 7m (22.96')...
Hello everyone this is my first post on this forum so i apologized in advance for my english but it is not my first language
I am in the process of changing the main engine for a 45 ft catamaran and i was able to obtain the hull resistance through the slender body method in maxsurf, the mast...
A kayak going at 17 mph?... - Only if it is stable enough, and motorized.
The Wavewalk S4 is a patented twin-hull watercraft that's officially designated as a kayak.
It's stable enough to go at 17 mph when powered with a 9.8 HP outboard motor:

Dear all,
I want to create a detailed building information model for a 13 - 15 meter catamaran that is capable of being CNC cut and assembled. I need some help finding plans I can use as a basis of design. Specifically, I need the hull profile information. Section cuts through the hull will...
Hello,
I'm joining a competition where students will build boats with the same engine given by the organizer. It will be a time trial race and a long distance race. The only limitation of the design is that the boat can fit inside a 2.5 m x 2.5 m x 2 m box and the average Froude number of the...
