Abstract

The paper aims to describe the initial steps into the study of manoeuvring characteristics of a Trimaran in deep and shallow water. The program is intended to assess the turning performance of a Trimaran at the design stage using minimal and preliminary data regarding main dimensions, line drawings and other relevant available information. It considers the hydrodynamic characteristics of the centrehull for deep and shallow water and also identifies the influence of other parameters on the turning performance. Verification of the formulations is investigated by comparison with available data and good agreement is found.
