Circular reduces the weted surface, and also provides a stronger shape, thus requiring comparatively less reinforcement. It also allows the water...
The issue is that the swath concept only works if there is no reserve buoyancy. Almost all the buoyant force is located in the pod (the COB being...
Every new design is a new chance for something to go horribly wrong. The space shuttle has now been retired, but before it was the flight...
Not at all surprising, it's just a possible reason (an answer to HTM09's question) for why they would choose not to. I suspect that gears chipping...
Presumably your body learns to predict the motion of the type of boat that you sail on. Making it not a matter of better or worse, so much as a...
Turning the mechanically driven pod is a bit problematic. All the torque that's destined for the props is turning away in the vertical shaft. If...
This source suggests a max speed of 18 knots which is what they are doing with all that power. It would also suggest that they haven't got Kort...
@Karo, I think that M/Y Lone Ranger is quite an attractive vessel. She isn't a glossy express cruiser, but she is pleasantly visually balanced....
Check out the tender garage on the bottom deck You could probably also wrangle some small man powered craft onto the top deck too.
Navatech, I did not mean to imply that a heli with skids could not be moved, simply that a heli with wheels is probably going to be more...
Is it possible that they changed the engine and exhaust in the refit? It seems to me like all that extra HP (that really just makes the ride...
Brian, you need a big boat to hold big toys. There is also something nice about having one boat/home full time rather than boat hopping. One...
I don't think that there is a best possible helicopter. There are different advantages and disadvantages to every system. If you want something...
My guess is that, if this were a really bad idea, they would have noticed something bad happening (large wake in high wake areas) and stop doing...
I'm not so sure that it's out of design specs for a litoral combat ship to be limited to the litoral zone in rough seas. I am not certain, but I'd...
Oh yes, I totally agree. The captain is responsible for the ship, even if they told him to do it, rather than merely encouraging it, it's his job...
Since the very start there has been speculation that they encourage that behavior. They approved a course that was virtually identical to the...
The buyer would definitely notice the price hike.
I'm not sure what specifically about a Carver 440 would come up. Looks like you've got the prerequisit range, though not so much that the whole...
Undoubtedly there are people who will pass up this boat because of the headroom. But there are also people who will pass up other boats with moor...
