Scuttlebutt yacht design

Instead of rubbing strakes and fenders why not have the hull made from that stuff that they use on Ford Ka wings ? If you hit anything just point a hair-dryer at it and it pops back into shape ( it was SWMBO who put the dent in it , honest ! ).
 
Nav lights automated in such a way that the boat is always the stand-on vessel.
 
Sorry Jim. You obviously haven't come far enough down to the South West. Doom Bar has a far superior flavour to Spitfire.

I forgot to add into my Doom Bar posting an essential piece of equipment. A supply of Pint Dimple Mugs - no straight sided glasses which spoil the ambiance
 
I think we can satisfy all tastes here. The 4 hulls will be designated Front, Back, Left & Right (Or Fore, Aft, Port & Starboard for traditionalists.

Front will have a humungous diesel with a zillion horsepower and a trophy blonde on the flybridge

Back will have leaky wooden decks and a gaff yawl rig

Left will be AWB with a big heavy keel and highly polished gel coat (if you can see it for all the be-socked fenders)

Right will be v-shaped, made of plywood and no clothing will be allowed.

Now have I left anyone out?

BTW 4 hulls is nothing, how about a pentamaran
 
Now what does it look like?

After 70-odd contributions, the design should be pretty settled. Maybe it's about time to see a drawing?

Now there's a challenge for Lakesailor!
 
Forward mounted machine-gun emplacement (s)

If mono-hull it would be anti-jetski

If twin-hulled - anti-jetski & anti mobo

If tri-hulled - anti-jetski, anti mobo & anti rib

If quad-hulled - anti-jetski, anti mobo, anti rib and .........just plain anti social !! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
