Supercats are designed with little rake on the stem, a very full forefoot and a full hull dead rise, this gives a Catamaranโs hull the required full buoyancy forward, all catamarans need when heading into weather, or they will slam on the bridge deck badly.
Supercats have little rake on the stem, a very full forefoot and a full hull dead rise to give them the full buoyancy forward they need when heading into weather.
In many designs, the entry bow is finer and the forefoot is weak to improve speed. This works to a degree, but only in very calm conditions. However, when any weather occurs, the bows bury into the sea and the bridge decks slam, reducing speed and seakeeping dramatically.
These design rules apply the world over, so if any boat designers or builders suggest their Catamarans do not slam in any way, we suggest you test their boat out in poor weather conditions, so this can be experienced first-hand before any purchase is made.
