I see that PDQ has now posted considerable new detail on their 41
powercat. A technical section has been added for the 41 (which can
be found at: http://pdqyachts.com/power/41technical.htm )
In addition to the many downloadable drawings, there are 6 pages of
notes from designer Ted Clements on his thinking behind the design.
Naturally, it's a bit of a sales pitch, but there is much interesting
design information to be found here. He discusses hull form; wave
making and spray reduction; bridge deck clearance and shape; wake
interference; accommodation layout and mechanical systems.
It makes you realize just how much thought must go into a
successful powercat design.

PS: Georgs, what ever happened to that PDQ 41 sea trial report?
