That's pretty much theoretical, though. In practice, in a boat listing due to unbalanced load or strong beam wind, the fins never stay just at a...
Then you've obviously never seen a boat with Naiad fins driven by their so-called Hydro-Mechanical Gyroscope (aka HMG) controller. As I said, that...
Nope, actually that system should indeed straighten not only a rolling, but also a heeling boat, regardless of the reason - be it beam wind,...
I see. Well, all the very best to them, regardless of my personal preference for other boats/yards.
Doh! You are right, I missed that bit of KC post, in my previous reply. I guess I must have mentally removed that while reading, because...
Do you mean NOW? I would have thought that Baia as such doesn't exist anymore, since several years. R U possibly talking of someone else who...
Not even that, actually, 'cause that old "Center-Off-On" stuff had no interfaces at all. The system is totally unaware of the boat speed, gear...
Interesting to hear that, because it fully matches my findings while I was looking for a used boat in that size/type bracket. 180 l/h at 24 knots...
Aha, I see. You know, interestingly that's another thing I never liked of Baia: they always seemed willing to fit any kind of engine their clients...
Unless it's the 660hp that is wrong, you must mean 3196 rather than 3116, surely? If so, you are making me curious: why should that boat be very...
It does matter, but at least in this respect you have no reason to worry. That's a pretty good size for a 76 footer, particularly since they...
I agree that blaming heeling on prop rotation is a joke, and not something I'd expect to hear from any half decent surveyor. But nope, old Naiad...
Those fins look like non-zero speed Naiad. If they are (can't be 100% sure from those pics alone), when the pump is turned off the hydraulic...
Yes, but never a P52. That's not the point, anyway. The occasion I previously mentioned was pretty unique, and I'm positive that neither the...
My point exactly, thumbs-up to all that!
Just to add a comment on waterjets (which, just to reiterate, were NOT the subject of my previous posts). For jets, yet again, size matters. The...
I don't know how familiar you are with the Kvarner Gulf in Croatia. It's a small stretch of sea notorious for NE wind blowing out of nowhere, and...
Fair enough, but why are you saying that in a reply to a post where I said that I'd rather have shafts?
I didn't quote any specific wave height because there's much more than that to consider. Wave form, frequency, direction - and of course boat type...
Sound principle, but don't hold your breath. Several posters here never miss an occasion to subtly (or also not so subtly) dismiss some builders,...
