Would anyone here mind offering a little consultation on my Design Hydrostatics report from Delftship? I have never designed a boat before and this one is modeled after a big boat purely by pictures and the general dimensions. It seems the file is too large to attach so if you wouldn’t mind helping out please email me at Millrtme@comcast.net Subject: DELFT
Thank you much.
Millrtme,
You might also ask the guys at the boatdesign forum.

Well no luck over at boatdesign. I am starting to understand a bit (I think) Here at the numbers from the report if anyone is interested.
