This vessel is in great shape for her year.

Catamaran hull dimensions. The State Room is very spacious and all the storage options look brand new. To date over 150 catamarans of between 7m and 16m have been designed and built by Andrew and Design Catamarans Ltd are now able to offer designs in steel and aluminium to suit almost every marine application. In addition a narrower hull is more easily depressed and prone to tripping in heavy seas.

KE 50 Fore triangle base J ratio kJ 36 Other dimensions are from the catamaran structure. KP 125 Mainsail base E ratio. However success required better materials and more developed hydrodynamic technologies.

She is at her lightest displacement. The catamarans specific design features such as its slender bow form and its widely spaced hulls result in a vessel that can operate both in tight areas and in adverse weather conditions. This usually implies less wave-making resistance and thus more efficient high-speed performance but also suggests reduced load-carrying ability for a given.

The wider it is the more stabilityhowever at some point excessive beam becomes unmanageable. It primarily depends on beam and individual hull buoyancy for stability. The Prismatic Coefficient Cp is a measure of the fullness of the ends of a boat the higher the number the fatter the ends and - surprisingly - the more efficient at high speeds.

WL Beam 6 ft per hull. Finer hulls are more efficient at high speeds but as weve just seen suffer from more WSA and so for normal cruising catamarans in average conditions a ratio of 111 - 131 seems optimum. Usually the waterline dimensions LWL and BWL are used for monohulls or for a single hull of a multihull.

However this drag formula is generally not the limiting factor for. At last we can do our displacement estimation. A catamaran is a vessel with twin hulls.
