Sail4beer 2,224 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 There was a design by a lady designer in a recent WoodenBoat issue( yeah, I’m one of those people) which had that same configuration. I thought it was odd looking and unnecessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Q 466 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 IIrc, In our local rating rules cat versions of that are banned, sort of half way between a cat and monohull that was tried pre WW1, an attempt to increase stability by moving bouyancy outwards.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shu 121 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I'm trying to find the reasoning, however faulty, behind this thing. An attempt to add stability aft may be a "reason". I think at most speeds this configuration would add wetted area. I mean the perimeter to area ratio for three triangles is going to be higher than for a single half-ellipse. And just where you want a full shape to maximize the pressure recovery, huge chunks of the hull have been cut out. I suspect it may be faster in reverse, or being dropped from a crane.
