Newicks tris appear to have the outriggers slightly immersed resulting in higher LwlBh ratios quoted by the designer than the estimating tool used in the spreadsheet gives.
Hull speed of a trimaran. TSY38 delivers a top speed of 32 knots powered by twin engines and propellers. Well you wont be. While this may not be true at low speeds below say 4 kt the flat of bottom may give enough dynamic lift over at least part of the hull length to.
Recent tests 2009 on a small prototype trimaran with this Box-hull form and flat bottom demonstrated that performance can be surprisingly good and some of what is lost through increased wetted surface is indeed made up by the slimmer form. Speed is another area where trimarans outperform their twin-hulled counterparts. If you went hull out on a cruising catamaran you would be on the way to serious trouble.
Hull speed in knots equals 134 times the square root of the waterline length in feet HS 134 x LWL. Discussion in Powerboats started by Docta Nov 26 2008. Most sailboats cruise at a speed of 4-6 knots 45-7 mph with a top speed of 7 knots 8 mph or 13 kmh.
By use of model experiments the law of longitudinal motion stability of the trimaran planing hull is studied. Theres a misconception I come across quite a bit that you can add weight and windage and youll still be fast as long as your hulls are fine. That gives you a k factor of 33 - the k factor replaces the usual 135 that you multiply times the square root of the waterline length to get the hull speed.
But you can. We sometimes get the call for a flat rocker line in the main hull. Ive been looking for some information lately on theoretical hull speeds on very narrow aspect ratio hulls and cant find any good info.

With 11000 cubic metres 390000 cu ft of payload volume she was designed to carry two mission modules allowing the ship to do multiple missions without having to be refitted.
