Hello from Takapuna It is certainly a very interesting regatta with a lot of diverse and good.

Catamaran rudder design. Rudder stocks have to be very strong to be able to steer consistently at such high speed. Worth posting it again as it was the winning rudder setup on the Dnas. The rudder box provides the ability to adjust the distance between the gudgeons.

The performance window of a catamaran is much higher and a rudder that has to work at 3 knots must be prevented from cavitating at 25 knots when it surfs. Also he couldnt move the rudder shaft position. Single rudder is always less efficient because it intersects free surface.

Say for rudder under bottom screen effect of the hull will increase effective aspect ratio and thus lift on the rudder 11-13 times. The discussed design choices are rudder working conditions Reynolds numbers and angles of attack profiles sectional shapes properties area thickness span chord and rudder aspect ratios types the position of the stock and the structural rudderhull connection and interactions among the hull the propeller and the rudder. In the absence of a skeg the stock material would have to be stronger and therefore heavier but would remain vulnerable to bending.

The recent regression in this matter exhibited by some modern catamaran designs might possibly be attributed to some genetically transmitted ancestral nostalgia The practice of using a tiller to steer with didnt disappear with the 16 th century as suggested by the diagram above though the whipstaff has become a relative rarity at least in its boating connotation. Last week Dario Valenza from Paradox told us about the L foil Ashby and the part of the TNZ was using. For rudder intersecting free surface this coefficient is 06-08.

A custom design rudder can be made just for you and your boat. 1 length between leading edge and trailing edge 2 thickness and where to. Antares Skegged Rudder Design.
