The displacement is the amount of buoyancy we design into the hulls. A discussion about catamaran hull shapes and how they relate to performance and sea keeping with specific reference to the 33 catamaran Mad Max. Together we used the same development tools.

Everything you need to know about tunnel hull design and performance includes modified vee hulls history of tunnel boats performance prediction and optimization including detailed How-To calculations TBDP - Design analyze optimize the performance of your tunnel boat or power catamaran. Often the time and money saved building hulls can be spent on better sail-handling hardware resulting in even better performance. In the daysailing sizes catamarans are faster than trimarans owing to their ability to fly the windward hull and sail on one hull at a modest angle of heel.
