Keels are keels, chines are not keels....
I would'nt worry much about fairing, just smoothen the highest ridges and get a good af on (the new silicon based seem to be good and are...
She can only be considered "planing" if dynamic lifting forces dominate over buoyancy lift, which is not necessarily the case with a combination...
Umhum....painting with antifouling is slightly less unfun I'd say.....
As far as I can see, there is nothing in that calculation procedure that refers to transverse stability, but there is a calc module dealing with...
So what were the readings from the three functioning cells then?
The nominal wot consumption is ~88 l/h, and your 43 liters correspond well with propeller power at 3900 rpm, which tells us you have been running...
What is the engine temp? Should be slightly above 80 C (max 87 C). If too low, there will be white smoke. Some Iveco's have "oversize" oil coolers...
I referred to your question about "how to connect....". Bolting through bulkheads works for higher hp:s as well, just a matter of normal strength...
Take a look at "pistnbroke's" thread "Stacking boat in production"!
Many words and some numbers, but no validation. References, pictures and test results please!
Mmmhm, but schackles don't transmit compressive forces.....?
"Hydrostatic" refers to displacement pumps and motors in general; could be gear pumps, vane or piston. In the first note, the thread opener is...
Actually, piston machines of "swash-plate" design are more efficient, both as pumps and motors. If your design can hit their respective best...
What's the engine power and all up weight of the boat fully loaded? Those numbers are crucial for the determination of propeller and shaft dia's,...
The parameter is called "slenderness ratio", and is a major influential factor on hull resistance. It is the ratio between water line length and...
.......and, since the question was about "Power", which equals "Drag times Speed", you get the power curve by multiplying the drag values with the...
If you can design the hulls with developable surfaces, you may very well use polyethene sheets. For the suggested size you could even use low...
Bureau Veritas??
Good point, Barry! "Been there, got it all......"
