Catamaran Hull Design
The most important catamaran design hull shape factor, is the Prismatic Coefficient (Cp). This is a measure of the fullness of the ends of the hull. ... Finally you can flatten out the hull rocker (the keel shape seen from the side) and add a bustle aft. That is the approach I use, in part because that adds displacement aft, just where it is ...
Daggerboards or Mini Keels for Catamarans?
The boat with a fixed keel is likely to point nearly as high as one with dagger boards, but will lose ground though increased leeway. As the wind strength increases the fixed keels will typically operate much more efficiently and from personal experience the difference in performance between two similar cats -one with efficient fixed keels, the ...
Keel construction and design explained
The Rustler 57 has the option of being fitted with a lifting keel. Its 2.0 (6ft 8in draft makes her a more versatile cruising yacht. In the centre of the keel is a bronze fin that has a chord as wide as the depth of the lead stub. When the blade is retracted, the yacht only draws 2.0m / 6ft 8in and she still sails well.
The pros and cons of different keel designs
This fin keel offers the least draught of any of our fixed keel options at 1.15m/3ft 9in and draws 10cm/4in less than the twin keel version. The keel has a significantly longer chord (2.24m/7ft 4in compared to .7m/2ft 3in of the standard keel) so she has the reassuring directional stability of a long-keeled yacht but with better manoeuvrability.
Sailing Catamarans
Good directional stability depends on the hull balance. A properly designed daggerboarded boat will sail as straight as a LAR keel one, and have the additional benefit of being quicker to tack and maneuver when necessary. Finally, if you run aground, you can lift the boards to get off, but remain stuck with keels.
Catamaran Daggerboards and Keels
You could essentially say that a catamaran with keels is a bit like a long-keel monohull, and the daggerboard catamaran is a fin keel monohull in more terms. I think we all know and all agree that the best sailing boats are going to be the one with fin keels. ... Everything in design, it's always interconnected. Going back to the comfort, and ...

Catamaran Structure
Elements of drag, hull shape, keel shape and rig design all factor in, whether it's a heavy, stiff cruising boat or a light, high performance racing machine. Those forces have to be figured, and materials and constructions are made to suit the conditions and situations where the boat will sail. ... Celtic 45 Catamaran Design.
Performance Study of Daggerboards Versus Keels
In my forty-five year career in the catamaran industry there's been a relentless debate on the virtues and vices of daggerboards versus fixed keels. ... Their analysis returned the predicted boat speed and leeway angle for the Balance 526 with a keel design and daggerboard design for all combinations of true wind speed from 4 to 25 knots and ...
How To Create the Perfect Cruising Catamaran Layout

A light boat with more sail area is also faster than a heavier boat with less sail area. ... despite a daggerboard or fixed keel configuration. This is because ...
Catamaran Design Guide
The length of the stub keel will depend on various factors, such as the size and design of the catamaran, intended use, and specific requirements of the boat builder. Generally, the stub keel on a catamaran is designed to provide stability and improve sailing performance, so it is important to consult with a naval architect or boat designer to ...

Multihull Keels and Daggerboards
Design parameters for these charter cats are often centered around 2 week multiple family vacations in the steady Trade Winds and day sails between closely spaced islands of the Caribbean. The features of these keel catamarans obviously put less demand on pure sailing performance or extreme upwind sailing characteristics, but rather try to ...
Some Common Centerboard and Daggerboard Designs
In the case of the Seward 46RK, the daggerboard, or lifting keel, is comprised of a solid polyester composite, with a fiberglass skin and a series of stainless rods running the length of the foil to both increase stiffness and carry a 7,500lb cast-lead ballast bulb. An electric motor, operated by a set of buttons at the mast, raises and lowers ...
cruising catamaran keel design
I have a P43 Privilege, 25 ft beam, 26000 lbs displacement with fixed keels. Each keel is approximately 10 ft in length and extend about 24 inches below the rounded hull form resulting in a total draft of 48 inches. The keels are essentially flat slabs with virtually no foil shape and average about 6 inches wide, flared into hull and tapered at ...
Designing the best catamaran
4. THE KEEL The keel is the most important hydrodynamic feature of any sailboat. Keels are responsible for a boat's stability and to prevent it from sliding across the water on certain points of sailing (closehauled and reach position). Once a keel is chosen, the rudder is relatively easy to design.
Top 6 Characteristics of a Good Catamaran
STABILITY: Unlike monohulls that rely on a heavy lead keel to keep it upright, a catamaran relies on the beam of the boat and the buoyancy of the hulls for stability. Typically cruising catamarans will have a beam to length ratio of roughly 50%. So a 45-ft long catamaran will be about 22-ft wide, providing a very stable platform.
Catamaran Design Formulas
T c = 0.57. Here we put B TR = 1.9 to minimize boat resistance (for her size) and get the draft calculation for a canoe body T c (Figure 1). Midship coefficient - C m. C m = A m / T c (x) B WL. We need to estimate a few coefficients of the canoe body. where A m is the maximum cross section area of the hull (Figure 3).
Hydraulic Lifting Keel On Beneteau Oceanis 34.1
A hydraulic lifting keel offered on the Oceanis 34.1 maximizes the hull's potential when deployed, yet gives access to shores with shallow waters when retracted. When deployed, the lifting keel brings the performance of a very deep ballast in all points of sail. Without a weighted bulb on the bottom of the keel, this design also saves weight ...

When a ship sails in shallow water, it will show different hydrodynamic performance from that in deep water due to the limitations of water depth. The shallow water effect may lead to hull sinkage and trim, increasing the risk of bottoming or collision. In this study, a new design scheme of a shallow-water seismic survey vessel is proposed to solve the problems of traditional seismic survey ...
