Since the stresses these hulls encounter at speed can't really be predicted very accurately, how do you decide how to lay up your hulls? Do you calculate a certain percentage over what you feel is a minimum, or do the engineers actually come up with stress numbers that they feel the boat will never exceed and build accordingly? |

Re: Spy pics of the new Doug Wright 38
vtec: Take a look at some of the pics of the Qatar boat and the other Victory built hulls on http://www.class-1.com/.
If you look closely, you will notice that there is definitely a spray rail (or whatever you want to call it) on the hull sides that is not present on the Tencara. |
Re: Spy pics of the new Doug Wright 38
Yes. Some of the newer Victory boats have a spray rail. (I just looked at that web site)
Early Victory (after the Skaters) cat, which were Skater copies had the spray rail - just like Skater. Then the MYPD Victory cats did not have the spray rail. Now....it's back again. MTI doesn't have the spray rail. |

I wonder when the always wise in the ways of the cat, resident Dr. Evil - err- I mean Dr. Cat, aka T2x will privilege us with his personal view on this.... :evilb: :D :cool:

Re: Spy pics of the new Doug Wright 38
T2X will say their all Skater copies and...
"Go buy a Skater" It's nice to see some legimate competition, which, will ultimately benefit the consumer. |
T2x has left the country
Miller, I think T2x is away, I am sure he will see this when he comes back.

Re: Spy pics of the new Doug Wright 38
Philip, how are you? Where have you been hiding? I've been hiding under a big rock for the past year but I'm back now. When are you and Kim coming to the city? This year I'm definitely going to make a trip out to see you guys - I'll bring Valentina - and maybe I'll even finally get to ride on the Skater. Afterall, you've been offering for 3 years and I haven't taken you up on it yet, which is my BAD.
Let me know if you two come into the city. We'll get sushi. :evilb: |
