Shorts Skapa
This video was taken by the skipper of a 54ft yacht in the Caribbean. The situation was that the skipper questioned the legendary speed under sail of the Shearwater 45, so Steve Hunt, the owner of "Maggy May", challenged him to a race to the next island and gave him a head-start of nearly 40 minutes. This was taken as the 45 sailed past him. It continued through his lee and arrived in port an hour ahead of the 54. See more info at http://dixdesign.com/sh45.htm .
A look at W18 CAB6 "Moonpool". This catamaran was customized for marine research, and customer specifically requesting a deck‑integrated hatch located at the center of the deck – a solution only possible with a catamaran design. A 200kg Maxilift crane makes loading research equipment efficient and easy. This boat was designed for research working conditions. The cabin includes a dedicated work desk for laptops, comfortable and ergonomic seating, effective sound insulation, and vibration damping. #marineresearch #innomar #boats #alucat #catamaran #boatbuilders #workboat
The Power of Sail Area-to-Displacement Ratio (SA/D) in Catamaran Design. Welcome to Navel Gazing at Camp David Shorts. I'm your host, Johnathan. In today's short video, we'll uncover "The Power of Sail Area-to-Displacement Ratio (SA/D) in Catamaran Design." Learn how this crucial ratio impacts a catamaran's sailing performance, acceleration, and ability to handle various wind conditions. Discover the secrets to a smoother, faster ride on the high seas. For more in-depth knowledge on this topic, I recommend reading: "The Principles of Yacht Design" by Lars Larsson and Rolf Eliasson, published by McGraw-Hill Education (2000). "High-Performance Sailing" by Frank Bethwaite, published by Adlard Coles (2009). Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to Navel Gazing at Camp David for more maritime insights.
