Read some of Richard Woods,Morelli and Melvin, Chris White, Malcom Tennant's web pages. Boat Design.net has some discussion of types of hulls in the forums. Dave Gerr's Books on the "Nature of Boats, plus the one on structure of boats have a lot of information on boat hulls, which can then be applied to cats, if you really want to do some searching.
The Hull Truth forum--if you cut thru the crap...BullShipper has some excellent posts on cat hulls. There is a lot of information, but not just in one place. Plus seeing how different boats run (both sail and power--(more similarities in cats perhaps than in mono hulls). . |
Thanks for all the tips. I am really enjoying digging in and researching this stuff. I guess part of the reason is I don't have my boat yet so I have plenty of free time, haha |
