I've added an updated sketch of MLM to my files section: MLM1.jpg
Changes
- The curvature of the diagonal beams are the same as the top edge of the side walls of the windward hull. Strangely, I just happened to have that curve pre-cut in my leftovers after cutting out the windward panels. Call me opportunist.
- There is a pass through in the mast step structure... lets that water flow through instead of being a wall.
- Netting
- Main beam transistions from square cross section at lee to round cross section to go into windward hull.
- Shorted rudders to reflect current bi-directional rudders
- Leeward hull (and rudders) are cambered 5 degrees inward. This is calculated so the lee hull is flat as the windward hull is flying.
- Windward hull remains 0 degrees when sail is unloaded - Assumption that I want maximum flat planing forces to lift windward early.
- Mast will be cambered 0 degrees when sail is unloaded - Assumption don't want light winds (0 - 5 knots) having to lift the weight of the boom and sail because of a pre-cambered mast.
Changes not made yet.
- Hobie Sails, and Easy Rig boom
- Stays
- fairings on beams and mast step - probably won't be on boat when first launched.
Build Progress
I have the windward hull panels cut out and lap jointed. I have a 4 day weekend this weekend and plan to hopefully dedicate a lot of time. Hopefully doubling my total build time from my current 40 hours. I'll upload pictures.
