Redesign
As
we saw RMS was designed as a flat bottom boat, but would it be better
as a round bottom boat?
We'll
have a go at a redesign based on RMS. Here's RMS midsection as
originally designed,
That
midsection has a submerged area of .87 sqft. With a prismatic
coefficient of .56 and a length on the waterline of 12.24 ft. that's
a projected displacement of 373 lbs.
A
more rounded shape with the same over all dimensions looks like this,
If
we overlay the new midsection onto the old midsection it is obvious
that we would lose a significant amount of displacement.
The
new midsection area is .76 sqft. Using the same prismatic coefficient
and the same WL we get a projected displacement of 325lbs a loss of
approximately 50 lbs. If we can live with that then lets proceed.
But how to we proceed from here?
