>Double M profile hull mixes wake with air to >assist lift, reduce drag and reduce wake. I seem to remember someone doing small pleasure craft like this back in the mid 70's. The designs they came up with were supposed to reduce boat wash erosion of river banks and so on, but there were problems in the implementation in that they were harder to turn than the normal V hull. As a scheme they never seemed to catch on for this reason. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
