Gareth,

All my designs up till are made with panels that only bend in one direction. All the rest is optical illusion which I'm actually applying to make the hulls look nice !

See here :



Also my bottom panels are significantly more flat then those shown earlier in Johns picture. Afterall I'm trying to achieve some planing properties with this boat. This version has straight sides and a straight bow. The one with the wave-piercer bow is the same but with slightly inward canted sides. The amont of side canting needed for swept back bow is so small that we probably can get that by just twisting the ply inward at the bow.

Work is continuing.


John,



How or where do you see it ?


Gareth,

Can you alter the box hull shape in your drag simulation to have 25 degrees keel panel angle. Meaning each panel moves up from the keel line at 25 degrees ? That is a promising hullshape and it will resemble the red hull much closer in shape and I hope in drag so too. while still presenting a relatively flat keel that hopefully allows some planing. Not full planing but just a little amount so that 2 or 3 knots can be added to the top speed.


Thanks you all it really helps when other people do portions of the work.
