And functional whether located up on the bridgedeck or down in the hull.

Racing catamaran hull design. In the daysailing sizes catamarans are faster than trimarans owing to their ability to fly the windward hull and sail on one hull at a modest angle of heel. The Tryst 10 is based on the Duo dinghy. The most important catamaran design hull shape factor is the Prismatic Coefficient Cp.

A Decision 35 one-design catamaran for inshore racing an MOD 70 trimaran andmost spectacularly of allthe 131-foot maxi-tri Spindrift 2. The displacement is the amount of buoyancy we design into the hulls. Six daysailing trimarans each with a plywood hard chine main hull.

The design team has broadened the beam of the boat and moved the mast further aft to make her more stable and easier to handle. The F50 catamaran is a revolutionary concept in sail racing that is the culmination of 10 years of development in high-performance foiling multihull racing. It was a fantastic experience of sharing making progress and producing the best of ourselves to develop this project.

Ive seen promotional material for catamarans stating that the boat has less wetted area because it has fine hulls. Often the time and money saved building hulls can be spent on better sail-handling hardware resulting in even better performance. The beam between hull centers is named b cb figure 2.

Each hull side supplied pre-cut and when joined is assembled in one piece. This is possibly one of the most exciting trends in catamaran design in a. But in fact you want a high Cp for high speeds.

Together we used the same development tools. The hulls are fine. The bottom of the hulls are strip-planked over computer-cut temporary frames.
