Re: Forced air ventilated stepped hull?

I was thinking along the same lines a while back....but wondered where to get the air from...and if it had to be pressurized with an air pump or compressor. I'm still waiting for my membership to be...

Re: Forced air ventilated stepped hull?

Re: Forced air ventilated stepped hull?

If that's true...I wonder why so many boat manufacturers are using this principle...just look at the other replies to this thread....and all the boat names...like Donzi for example.

Re: Forced air ventilated stepped hull?
