The result is a relatively small trimaran\, suitable for conventional or electric propulsion\, with power requirements 20-25% less than conventional monohulls in the desired speed range. \n\n\n\nUsing funds from a modest state research grant (Maine Economic Improvement Fund)\, MMA partnered with The Landing School in Arundel to construct a half-scale 22 ft. prototype/technology demonstrator. This presentation will cover the development of the design including initial trade-off study\, two model test series\, full-scale design\, prototype scaling and construction\, and ongoing design changes. The focus will be on the unique balance between hull shape\, weight\, and stability for a small displacement trimaran with a 12 to 16 knot cruise speed.\n\n\n\nTalk is FREE and open to the public. \n\n\n\nDoug Read is an Associate Professor of Engineering at Maine Maritime Academy. He holds a B.S. in NAME from Webb Institute\, an M.S. in NAME from MIT\, and a Ph.D. in Ocean Engineering from the University of Maine. He is a licensed PE in the state of Maine.
