  • On the Great Trimaran-Catamaran Debate
    On the Great Trimaran-Catamaran Debate Lawrence J. Doctors, Member, School of MechanicnJ and Manufacturing Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia Abdmct In the cumwtt work, a aydewaatic investigation into a variety of monohulls and mul- tihulls is carried out with an emphasis on finding optimal forms. Vessels with up to six identical subhulls are taken into consideration and a large range of lengths is studied. hT- thermore, sidehuli trimaran configurations are included in the investigation. There are two main purposes to this investigation. Firstly, one is interested in mini- mizing the wave resistance, becawe this is closely related to the wave generation and is of critical importance to the operation of river ferries. Secondly, it is also important to min- imize the total resistance, in order to reduce fuei costs and to permit long-range trips for ocean-going vessels. The theoretical predictions show that increasing the length beyond that normally accepted is beneficial in reducing both the wave Resistance and often the total resistance. I. the goal is to minimize wave resistance and if the length is constrained, the calculations also demon- strate that trimarans are superior to catamarans, which are in turn superior to monohulls. On the other hand, if the goal is to minimize the total resistance, then all the muh!ihulis (~m catamarans to hezamarans) are inferior to monohulls, except possibly at low speeds which are not of interest in thw study. Similarly, sidehull trimarans are shown to be inferior to catamarans except perhaps if rather great lengths are permitted.

  • 5 Must Read Sailing Books for Catamaran Enthusiasts
    5 Must Read Sailing Books for Catamaran Enthusiasts This list briefly discusses 5 books that yacht owners or enthusiasts should read. What makes each book unique? Why should they read the book? What will they learn or take away from it? This is - at least what we consider - the best 5 books ever written in English on the subject of cruising catamarans. There are a few German and French publications but they are nearly impossible to get , most are out of print and unless you can read German or French - are of no value. So here is the top 5 list of the "Must Read books for Catamaran Enthusiasts" 1.) CATAMARANS - THE COMPLETE GUIDE FOR CRUISING SAILORS, by Gregor Tarjan. First published in 2006 and reprinted in 2008 by Mc Graw Hill Companies, New York. ISBN 9780071498852. Hardcover, 305 pages full color, large format, illustrated and lavish photography by Gilles Martin Raget. Of course we have to mention this book first. Not only is it written by our own Gregor Tarjan, founder and owner of Aeroyacht Ltd., but it is hailed as "the industry reference" by many experts. It has sold many thousands of copies around the world and has been re-printed numerous times. Jim Brown calls it "an authoritative guide for novices and experienced sailors, the best book written on the subject since the early 1990's" 2.) MULTIHULL SEAMANSHIP - Illustrated, by Dr. Gavin LeSueur. Illustrations by Nigel Allison. First published in Australia in 1995, Cyclone Publishers. ISBN 1875181032. Soft cover, spiral bound, large format, 108 pages, black and white.

  • A Comparative Evaluation of a Hydrofoil-Assisted Trimaran
    COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF A A HYDROFOIL-ASSISTED TRIMARAN Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING By Ryno Moolman Supervisor Prof. T.M. Harms Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Stellenbosch Co-supervisor Dr. G. Migeotte CAE Marine December 2005 Declaration I, the undersigned, declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and has not previously, in its entirety or in part, been submitted at any University for a degree. Signature of Candidate Date i Abstract This work is concerned with the design and hydrodynamic aspects of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran. A design and configuration of a trimaran is evaluated and the performance of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran is effectively compared to the performance of a hydrofoil-assisted catamaran with similar overall displacement and same speed. The performance of the trimaran with different outrigger clearances are also evaluated and compared. The hydrodynamic aspects focuses mainly on the performance and to a lesser extend on the sea-keeping and stability of a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran. The results were determined by means of experimental testing, theoretical analysis and numerical analysis. The project was initiated as a result of the success of the hydrofoil-assisted catamarans and due to the fact that there does not exist a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran (to the author’s knowledge) where the main focus of the foils is to significantly reduce the resistance. A brief history, recent developments and associated advantages regarding trimarans are discussed. A complete theoretical model is presented to evaluate the lift and drag of the hydrofoils, as well as, the resistance of the trimaran.

  • Pre-Modern Sri Lankan Ships and Shipping
    1 [ E:RESEARCH] 2002 SHIPS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARITIME TECHNOLOGY IN THE INDIAN OCEAN. Parkin,D. and Barnes,R. (eds.) RoutledgeCurzon, London, 2002. ISBN 0-7007-1235-6 (Papers read at the second conference in the series The Indian Ocean: Transregional creation of societies and cultures organized by the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford, and held at St.Anthony’s College, in May 1998) Chapter 5 PRE - MODERN SRI LANKAN SHIPS Somasiri Devendra Introduction There are many references to Sri Lankan ships in the historical records of Sri Lanka, as well as other countries. Yet, we have little idea of the appearance or structural characteristics of the early vessels. This paper, which tries to find an answer to these questions, is presented in two parts. Part 1 states the hypothesis and the path followed to test it. Part 2 describes the traditional ships that survived into this century. The inland watercraft, which are important 2 for a fuller appreciation of this subject, is not dealt with here as I have dealt with them at length elsewhere. (Devendra 1995: 211-238) PART I Hypothesis All Sri Lankan ships and watercraft developed from two basic forms that evolved out of the interaction between the inshore maritime environment and the biological resources of the island. Shared cultural links with, and technological forms prevalent in, south India were the other parameters. When Sri Lankan vessels eventually ventured farther out into the ocean, these basic forms underwent further and greater modification to fit the new environment. Contacts with foreign ships calling at Sri Lanka and experiences gained by sailing in foreign waters, exposed Sri Lankan mariners to types of craft and technologies that had originated in different parts of the Indian Ocean (and beyond).

  • Carriages & Coaches
    Carriages & Coaches By Ralph Straus Carriages & Coaches Chapter the First THE PRIMITIVE VEHICLE “This is a traveller, sir, knows men and Manners, and has plough’d up sea so far, Till both the poles have knock’d; has seen the sun Take coach, and can distinguish the colour Of his horses, and their kinds.” Beaumont and Fletcher. IT has been suggested that although in a generality of cases nature has forestalled the ingenious mechanician, man for his wheel has had to evolve an apparatus which has no counterpart in his primitive environment—in other words, that there is nothing in nature which corresponds to the wheel. Yet even the most superficial inquiry into the nature of the earliest vehicles must do much to refute such a suggestion. Primitive wheels were simply thick logs cut from a tree-trunk, probably for firewood. At some time or another these logs must have rolled of their own accord from a higher to a lower piece of ground, and from man’s observation of this simple phenomenon must have come the first idea of a wheel. If a round object could roll of its own accord, it could also be made to roll. Yet it is to be noticed that the earliest methods of locomotion, other than those purely muscular, such as walking and riding, knew nothing of wheels. Such methods depended primarily upon the enormously significant discovery that a man could drag a heavier weight than he could carry, and what applied to a man also applied to a beast. Possibly such discovery followed on the mere observation of objects being carried down the stream of some river, and perhaps a rudely constructed raft should be considered to be the earliest form of vehicle.

  • Monohull Vs Catamaran
    MONOHULL VS CATAMARAN Who do you trust? The boating press? They have obligations to their advertisers. Did you ever see a bad boat review? Your friendly Boat Broker/Dealer? Why do their positions seem so aligned with their products? They sell Catamarans only? They’re the best. They sell monohulls only? They’re the best. How about your friend whose HEARD THINGS. But who has sailed monohulls for the last 20 years. He can certainly tell you about those Catamarans! We sell and sail both Catamarans and Monohulls. We run charter companies featuring both. We hire captains who deliver both. Visit factories for both. Talk to designers for both. This presentation will be based on our experiences with both types of boats. We sell both about equally and have little to gain promoting one over the other. In addition to our personal experiences, I will relate what we’re told by transatlantic delivery captains. By owners and charterers. By designers. I firmly believe that when something is right, it makes perfect sense. I hope that you will find that this discussion makes sense. In the end, you have to decide WHAT MAKES SENSE. In this presentation, I’m talking strictly about boats that make sense for living aboard and offshore sailing. Not daysailors. Not racers. Serious cruisers… As I advocate or negate each category I switch hats. Talking from that camps point of view, but modifying my remarks with our personal experience. In all cases we assume a well designed state of the art boat oriented towards our purposes mentioned above.
