When I was into offshore sailing the advantages of a long skinney boat , a multihull was of great interest.

The AYRS published math tools to work out the numbers but they were beyond my use.

So they built a calculator.

HULL RESISTANCE CALCULATOR Hope it still works!

For folks interested in the theoretical advantages of slim hulls , and light weight it may be of interest.

Should be of interest to slow fat boat owners too.

enjoy
