HOW TO DIMENSION A SAILING CATAMARAN? This article is to help start a catamaran design process. At the end of the day, the performance of a sailing catamaran is dependent on three main dimensions: length, sail area and weight. More waterline length means a faster boat, more sail area means a faster boat and less weight means a faster boat.
29 Ιουν 2010 · Higher values increase load capacity. The deep-V bottomed boats have typically B TR between 1.1 and 1.4. B TR has also effect on boat displacement estimation.
6 Ιουν 2013 · It is possible to calculate by how much you are under or over loaded by finding the available internal volume between the LWL and the under or over loaded line. LWL = Load Water Line is the waterline at which a boat is calculated to float when fitted out and ready to sail, i.e. When carrying the load for which the boat was designed.
Many years ago, a client of mine informed me of his invention of what he called the S Number (S#), which is a way to rate the performance of all sailboats on a scale of 1 to 10 using the Sail Area/Displacement ratio (SA/D) and the Displacement/Length ratio (DLR). He had published an article about it in a regional sailing magazine back in 1988.
The Catana has the highest load carrying capacity of 10,723lbs – great for cruising and living onboard. The fuel tanks on both the HH catamarans are 4 times the size of the water tanks which is curious and nearly double the size of any of the other cats.
There are three main reasons why people should be concerned about load carrying on a catamaran. 1) Performance: All boats sail slower the more they are loaded. Clearly the bigger and heavier the boat the less influence an extra ton of gear will have.
This document provides guidelines for dimensioning a sailing catamaran based on key dimensions of length, sail area, and weight that determine performance. It discusses optimizing dimensions like length-to-beam ratio around 11 to balance speed and loading capacity.
