: Hi Carl,
: If you think you might separate the hulls to be wider at some time in the
: future for sailing why not put the flat side of the asymmetrical hull on
: the outside and eliminate the need for dagger boards as this would keep
: the boat from lateral slippage while under sail.
: John
Hi John,
That idea has been tried out before and it didn't produce the effects expected in catamarans. With both hulls in the water, the foil effect of the leeward hull lifting to windward was negated by the windward hull trying to lift to the leeward side.
It works in tri's with the main hull symmetrical and the floats assymmetrical as the windward float is out of the water and producing no lift.
