  • 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.

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).

  • BILL NORRIE, BCA Member As the 2020 Recipient
    BEN RUSI SEAMANSHIP AWARD NOMINATION - 2020 As per its description on the BCA website and in the BCA Member Directory, the Ben Rusi Seamanship Award “recognises outstanding acts of seamanship by individuals or groups, for single, multiple, or extended feats demonstrating a level of courage, determination, citizenship, and discipline to which all Bluewater cruisers should aspire.” This year, I nominate BILL NORRIE, BCA member as the 2020 recipient. His epic, east-about, single-handed circumnavigation via the five Great Capes of the Southern Ocean aboad his beloved 28’ Bristol Channel Cutter, Pixie, will go down in the annals of Bluewater Cruising as he put his skills, resourcefulness, adaptability and fears to the ultimate test and lived to tell the tale. Herewith a few details of his journey and the fastidious preparations that preceded his departure from Victoria on August 31, 2019 and led to his safe return one year later: Dates - August 31, 2019 to September 2, 2020 Total length of passage - 29,000nm Total length of passage at sea in days - 314 days Total length of passage at sea + in port - 366 days Stops Enroute - Gambier (French Polynesia), Tiera Del Fuego Isla Hershel, Port Stanley (Falklands Islands), Cape Town SA , and Lyttleton NZ Preparation Bill’s preparation for the circumnavigation was thorough and substantial; his over-riding goal being the safe completion of his long-held dream to circumnavigate via the southern capes. In the words of his wife, Cathy, who stood alongside him the entire way (and is equally deserving of BCA recognition): “We took a defensive posture from the beginning in buying Pixie, a Bristol Channel Cutter 28 which is an ultimate heavy weather boat.
