Catamarans are a class of boat that has two hulls generally equal in size.

Catamaran hull size. Where A m is the maximum cross section area of the hull. There is no reason to make that configuration of catama-ran hull a planing design. Instinctively you might think that fine ends would be faster as they would cut through the water better.

As a result catamarans can be used in shallow waters as well. And being famous they. The mono-hull luxury powerboat tends to require more power to move at comparable speeds as a similarly sized catamaran.

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. The result of this work illustrated that seakeeping performance of a catamaran improves by doubling the hull length. We need to estimate a few coefficients of the canoe body.

Yacht Sales Yacht Sales. MLS boat search for power and sail catamarans on the market and added daily. LDR near five the catamaran is a heavy one and made from solid laminate.

T c 057. In transformation process they were changed accordingly for a reasonable comparison. This feature makes catamarans quite flexible and versatile.

But in fact you want a high Cp for high speeds. C m A m T c x B WL. 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.
