SEAKEEPING FOR DESIGN: THE DEMANDS OF MULTIHULLS IN COMPARISON TO MONOHULLS

G E Hearn, Pnh Wright, W. Hills

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the improved design of catamarans at the conceptual design stage. After summarising the corresponding monohull design approach, developed and reported previously, and providing a brief overview of seakeeping research pertinent to catamarans, a new seakeeping for design procedure developed for catamarans is presented and applied. Identified conflicts arising from the authors endeavour to provide a simple fast design method are discussed and some practical guidance given on how best to use the developed procedures.
