Righting Moment Part 2 Examining the Fastest Sailboats of All Time
This is part 2 of my video on sailboat righting moment. In this video I compare the Wave Rider and Weta trimarans, Yellow Pages Endeavour, Hydroptere, and Sail Rocket 2 and possible future record breakers. Please note, while I have tried to represent all these boats as accurately as possible based on published specs, there may be some small discrepancies in my illustrations, in the actual hull buoyancies, weight distributions and boat geometries. This exercise was initially done out of my own curiosity to try to fine a pattern to determine how much sail area the wingmaran and other boats I am designing could carry, however, now it is the beginning of the pursuit of a unified formula to determine the predicted top speed of a foiling sailing craft. There have already been formulas for estimating the top speed of a displacement keel boat, but never a formula for boats that lift up on hydrofoils and hydroplaning surfaces. That is my next project!

Duo Delta Proa
มุมมอง 4939 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
The Duo Delta Proa. The outrigger is on the leeward side of the boat. The sail is in the middle, like a catamaran. The crew is always on the rear end of the main, windward hull. A leeboard is used for lateral resistance. The sail cants to windward. Directional control is via pulling down on the back stay, which changes the fore/aft position of the sail. More information will be posted on www.pa...

This is a comprehensive comparison of righting moments on a Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender, Laser, Sunfish, wind surfer, kite surfer, 49er Skiff, and wingmaran. Along with discussions about top speeds and how to increase top speeds.
Home Made Land Yacht
มุมมอง 155วันที่ผ่านมา
This video is about a design for a home made Land Yacht. I don't think I can wait till March, so I think I will build this land yacht to sail around in empty parking lots or soccer fields. The wind can be quite high in the winter. It utilizes the 52 SF sail I just made for my punt, the shuttle punt chair, and 2 of the shuttle punt wheels. I just need some scrap wood and 2 more wheels for the fr...
Lost footage hydroplaning downwind and upwind
มุมมอง 922วันที่ผ่านมา
Here is footage from 30, July 2024 with speedometer added. It shows FlyBy going 12 MPH downwind and 10MPH upwind. This beats my previous record of 8 MPH upwind. My GoPro died this day when I tried to change the battery on the beach and water got into the battery compartment. So I was not able to add the speed overlay till I got a new GoPro.

Wingmaran 15X sailboat and rowboat

Introducing the first wingmaran with a cabin. The Wingmaran 15X is design for adventure racing along coastal waters. Plans are in the works and a prototype will be built this winter. Find out more at: www.palmquistmarine.com/wingmaran-16-x
DuoDyna Proa
มุมมอง 35821 วันที่ผ่านมา
This video is about DuoDyna Proa. The float is always to the leeward side. It can either shunt or tack. The leeward float is about half the volume of the total weight of the boat but the skimmers produce dynamic lift when the boat heels. The dynamic lift limits heeling to 10 degrees and can cause the main hull to partially lift, decreasing drag. The offset A-frame mast allows the sail to flip v...
What is the ideal boat hull shape
มุมมอง 3.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I discuss the launch of my new website: PALMQUISTMARINE.com I also cover the idea that the ideal boat hull shape changes with speed and wave conditions from long and skinny displacement to wide and flat hydroplaning and how you can combine the 2 together into 1.

Comparing 3 different hydroplaning outriggers
มุมมอง 1.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This video is a compilation of the 3 fastest runs in the last year comparing the following: skimming disc (11 mph) skimming stepped wedge (12mph) Skimming wing (13.7mph) All of these were with top winds around 20 mph. All were with an undersized Sunfish sail rig. Testing next year will be with a larger, more powerful rig. The top speed should be closer to 16 knots with a larger sail. The boat i...
