No, sorry I did not read the entire link, but the "what if" scenarios never really came into play. All small trawler style craft are at the mercy...
I would say that the Nordhavns and other trawler like mono-hulls that have crossed oceans (the number has grown quite a bit in the last 10 years)...
Not my cup of tea, but certainly focuses on the catamaran stability issue: Stability Yachts no rocking or jarring movements 365 days a year of...
All well as long as "theory" matches up with "practice". Bring in the various levels of decision making/helmsmanship in professional and...
Not a very good year for Mainship/Silverton/Luhrs in the national spotlight, albeit at the hands of the owners who use them........
Remember, this is for a 42' Sportfish, ABT is way too much $$$ for the application and they only go down to 8" diameter, the 42' SF is not really...

Modifying the output rating of a current electronically controlled marine diesel through recailbration of the combustion process will compromise...
A lot of the published data on diesel fuel comes from an on-highway perspective. I have seen variability on product delivered to the marine...
