Has to do with all kind of hull forms and hydrodynamics and too much of it will make your eyes cross. As has been pointed out here, I have no *formal* training in naval architecture and am therefore unqualified to comment. I do know that it is an immutable law of the universe however and always obey it even when I don't see any physics cops in my rearview mirror. BTW good bio article about Ray Hunt in the latest "Yachting". Another guy with no formal training in the field. I believe it is called empirical learning. I've seen half models carved a hundred years ago that wouldn't bring any shame on a "modern" designer. Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct email address for reply) |
