I see alot of coupling and decouple thrown around here and there. What exactly do you mean by this?
If both hulls are attached how does it permit each hull to be designed for independent condition?
I see with a Pacific Proa with ama as a log and main hull as a hull the independent nature of the two . But how it so with two hulls, a with buoyancy ratio of 60/40, 55/45, 40/60?
To me it would seem you would want both hulls working as closley as possible, mimicking one anothers action. One slamming vs one slicing.
