Helping Us With Boats

And if so, why?
Would it make my catamaran even faster if it had four hulls instead of only two?
I am trying to build a very energy-efficient commuter boat, and I hope to make it fast, as well. Since I don’t want to have to build a 100-foot boat to get decent hull speed with barely [...]

My crazy plan is to build a super-long power cat for commuting to work through a large harbour; it has to be that long in order to allow me to cruise at 12 knots, because all boats that are shorter than that are not allowed to go any faster than 5 knots (that’s just the [...]

Would lighter than air gas compressed and ensconced in bows tend to produce positive bouyancy thereby resisting submarining?
Would such a positive bouyancy advantage increase speed of catamaran as opposed to stock catamaran provided all else being equal?
Why do sail manufacturers use a mast? And would a superior mastless foil generate faster hull speeds?
And, should [...]

Going to a resort this weekend that lets guests sail small catamarans with only a mainsail. I kind of remember how to tack, but when we were at this resort had a bunch of trouble. In particular, I am not sure what to do with the main (and only) sail [...]

I have a goal i am very eager to reach but for my safety, would like to ask an expert. my goal is to have a transatlantic crossing in a sailing catamaran, what size boat should i have, how many crew, and if there are any boats that are able to cross safely and meet [...]

I’m planning on retirement on a boat, other than fuel costs, I was wondering which choice would be best.
Right now I’m planning on just myself to handle this boat, although that could change. As far as what type of waters, I dont plan on any transatlantic journey, but maybe an island hop would be interesting. [...]

Are inflatables useful or not? Do they provide a normal sail catamaran’s joy and safety?

Where I live, people like to go into some narrow coves to swim and stuff..at the lake. There is no way to do any boating in an area like that and I think all of the land lovers would feel sorry for us if we started paddeling. anyone ever seen someone put an [...]

I am vacationing in Punta Cana in a couple of weeks and I am hoping to do some yacht/catamaran sailing. I am an experienced sailor and was hoping to either charter a sailboat for a day or go on a sailing day trip (with a staff) where I can take over and sail.
Does anybody [...]
