Guys, can you tell me the names or upload pics of the boats with most fattestest tumblehomes,please

For aesthetic purposes

Ranger 37?

Ranger 28... higher ratio of tumblehome to unit length, perhaps

 

The R37 is a beautiful boat. I lusted for one of those, for decades. I tried to find one of the racing pics of 'Munequita' back in the day but google is not helpful this morning

I never thought I would hear anyone utter this phrase.

Did you ever sail one downwind in a blow? The R37 was possibly the worst behaved IOR boat of all time.

Just because two strong people hauling on the tiller couldn't keep the old Munequita from rounding up over and over again I never found her homely -- though she was tumblehomely for sure.

Sorry, I never sailed one, I meant "beautiful" in terms of visual aesthetic only. I have seen them sailing and they are real water-dozers, for sure

Well, if the function was to win a sailboat race or three, then that work out fine

The broachiness only comes into play when you try to drive it downwind faster than the water wants to let it go. Back off the throttle, and everything is fine. I owned a '70s broach coach for a while, it was fun

Is there a reason for tumblehome (the boat kind, not the ass kind) other than measurement rules?  Some of the IMOCA 60's and the modern style copycats seem to have tumblehome in the bow, if that is what it is still called.

Doven 30s had more tumblehome than anything else around here when I was growing up.

On French warships it allowed more armor at the waterline which helped while retreating.

IOR rule was a factor in it - but not that much.  Mainly just a trend IOR designers went through for a couple of years in the early 70's - because it disappeared very quickly.  You would be hard pressed to find an IOR boat with tumblehome designed after about 1974.  Tumblehome 2 was in the '78 HTC - but she was a 5-6 year old design at that point. 

Jones more recent designs at the '78 HTC- mainly the Hustler 32s were similar in overall concept but didn't have the tumblehome or the reverse bow.  There were quite a few Hustler 32s at the HTC that year with Smokey Bear finishing second behind Waverider.

I recall reading an article by one of the designers at the time saying that tumblehome was intended to reduce the heeled waterline beam and make the underwater shape less asymmetrical - reducing wave drag and weather helm (I guess it was thought to favourably shift the CLR a bit too - IDK).  Of course on the downside, it would tend to move the  CB inward as you progressively heeled- reducing the righting arm.

Interesting and strikingly attractive.

Hard to tell from the photo angle, but it looks less like there is tumblehome in the hull form and more as if what would have been side decks were inflated to meet the gunnels. Must provide a big increase in volume below. 

I do wonder what it would be like to step off when coming alongside a dock. Potentially a bit slippery? 

My own Pathfinder has a bit of tumblehome.

There were CCA hulls that also had tumblehome, not just IOR.   However, I would seriously doubt that the possession of a tumblehome hull form was ever responsible for a sailboat winning a race.

The Swedes gave it their best shot, however, with the Vasa.  Which had all the tumblehome a fetishist could ask for and floated for about a minute after it was launched.

As usual, Wiki has a good introduction. 1906 warships:  Good sea behavior for passage making but poor stability in battle from flooding. My guess due to lack of reserve buoyancy and less righting moment with more submersion. Same problem as over driving a sailboat.
