Hello there,
I have seen somewhere a sketch of the following system: an electric pump sucks water from an underwater skin-fitting , and pumps it out of another skin-fitting fitted just above the waterline on one side of the bow. Another pump does just the same thing for the other side. I remember seeing a photo of some sort of power trimaran designed to brake the Atlantic crossing record, using such a system for harbour manoeuvering.
Has anyone installed a similar kit and have some of you got the hydraulic/physics knowledge to calculate the power and tube diameters needed for a given displacement ?
Any information is welcome.
Cheers,
Alexiss
