Re: Cat 22
I come from the home of Noosa and Kevlar cats. Can't say I have ever seen one lean into a turn - the the physicist in me struggles to see how it could happen.

Re: Cat 22
There are power catamarans designed with asymmetrical hulls that will lean into turns such as this cat: http://www.morrellimelvin.com/corsairfoiler/specs.html
I am sure as with any design there are tradeoffs to having asymmetrical hulls vs. the traditional power catamaran designs. The CT 22 will not lean into a turn.

Re: Cat 22
So are you saying that the CT22 has symmetrical hulls and the hulls are interchangeable?

Re: Cat 22
I can see how with asymmetrical hulls it would allow the hull to roll/lean to the inside in turns. I would think asymmetrical hulls would have a greater draft and possibly not plane as well... off to reattach this now...

Re: Cat 22
Symmetrical hulls just means each hull is a mirror image.
Asymetric hulls have a flatter side on the inside typically.
Symetrical hulls are not interchangeable once you start adding decks. My hulls would have been swappable except bulkhead four was designed for the cockpit to be nested which made each hull specific to port n star.

I posted examples of other catamarans designed with asymmetrical hulls that will lean in on turns.

Re: Cat 22
I know but you said the CT22 would not lean. Does that mean it has symmetrical hulls? Not arguing just trying to understand why it won't lean.
I'll do some research online. I understand the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical just not how they affect a cat. It is an interesting topic to me. I rode in 2018 Twin Vee Oceancat 260 GF on a charter trip out of St George Island. Great boat and took the chop really well. We limited out on snapper that trip.

Re: Cat 22
Thanks BB Sig. I read the plan notes posted online where the CT22 will not bank on inside turns. There is another 40ft catamaran made by Berky boats which appears to have symmetrical hulls but the outside trailing edge of each hull near the transom is tapered. I hope to build the CT22 one day.

Re: Cat 22
I hope you do and post lots of pictures! Unfortunately, I think that holds some people back from building one is that the forum doesn't have a build. Maybe Jeff should sponsor ( % off) a good builder to build and document one. I think that would show what it is really like to build one and have a performance review.cvincent wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 10:53 am Thanks BB Sig.
