On their catamaran designs as well as those of Jeff Schionning.

How to design a catamaran. Apparently not nowadays you just get a prestigious Design. Ive figured how to design a. Its length the sail area and the boats weight.

Ultimately for a cruising catamaran our preference is a safe. For instance catamarans are quite often used as ferries. I remember initially drooling over the Atlantic 42 by Chris White still one of my favorite designs.

Placing the keel about 25 feet long 2 inches thick and 55 inches deep in proper position with an upward curvature of 1 foot we set uprights at both ends to temporarily represent stem and stern which are both to be near the vertical. Designs such as the older Edel and Outremer catamarans had a rigid deck and a small coachhouse which was completely separate from the hulls. Shows the curve of righting moment versus angle of heel for a typical modern 35ft catamaran and trimaran racer cruiser to my design.

So all multihulls should have a Cp between 061 and 065. Weve decided on using a catamaran hull for max stability. 4 of the overall length is low 5 is acceptable and 6 is good.

I can see how a deliberate ignorance of the first principles of marine design will get you noticed but I always presumed that tarring and feathering would follow. You call that a catamaran you fool. When it comes to slamming another important factor is weight.
