best rough water boat

[NQCairns]

Hi, there is an equation that has been in use for many years as a baseline for boat handleing, basicly it says that the wider for length the boat is the less seawothy it becomes, of coarse there are other factors to be considered but are of less importance within reason. Hope someone has it somewhere.

I have looked and cannot find the equation on my crapy fileing system but I did find a product hidden away that may help you or your passengers feel more confident or allow the purchase of a less expensive less seawothy boat. see what you think. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

Last time I heard of that equation the polynesians were making some modifications to it

Cheers, Kerry.

Outriggers on a monohull do not make-ith a multihull
I should have stated this specific equation is monohull only. I guess with sharkcats it would depend which side of the boat a person was standing as to which side had the outrigger??

Edit: here is a riddle- whats a twinhull with the motors fitted upside down and a surfboard lying across both gunnels?

A = A seaplane

Outriggers the polynesians weren't that ancient. But since you mentioned flying boats, Yes some were well and truely aware of multi-hull principles long before people planted outboards on the back.

And yes do realize equation applicable to mono only.

Cheers, Kerry.
