    Why are you allowing the stern to drag so much? Have you run the numbers and can you post them?

    PAR Thanks for comment. re:drag i do not do drag or resistance curves unless doing a yacht.
    drag/resistance is always controled by displacment and Longditudinal trim am doing hi speed multihull designs for a client, same rule applies ,speed then becomes an issue more power to hull weight.
    Recently did a barge design for New Guinea empty the barge actually got on the plan, put 4 tonnes cargo everything changes.
