Mike, I don't think I said that Raj 'designed Concorde or the shuttle' If I gave that impression I apologise. I think I said he was a senior aerodynamicist involved in the design of same.. and I got that from the 'blurb' as given out from the publicists for the BP team at the time. I never question ...

Steve, any resemblance between 'Thunderchild' and BP IS purely coincidental..other than both of them are of canard design or reverse 2 pointer or for those that don't know what we are talking about one planing point at the front and 2 at the rear.

sheppane comments on the 'wing' on the hull just behind the cockpit. This wasn't a water deflector, it was a water catcher. It was explained to ****** that there is a correlation between speed and wave length, this person put a 'wing' where it was calculated the first wave would be, and so using the...

please read my full comments in '1980's boat on this forum. part quote: "People are apt to criticise boats and question design, you only have to look at the comments on Quicksilver to see that. Well in defence of all those who do and not just talk about, do you think they didn't think about all...

Nigel nice to hear from you updating info on QS. I have attached a photo of an Early British Pursuit that Ken was involved in. I find it odd that he carried on with this type of design when he already knew it was a bit dicey to put it mildly. The attachement looks odd because this is from part of th...

How about a clever idea in case she crashes? the sponson breaks off for and easy rescue? A sudden stop on the nose doesn't mean a big engine hitting you in the neck?

Noseying about on the web I found this: waterspeedrecord I have a hull that can be on the water in a few months. We have a proven outrigger design with current ihba and sdba et records as well as the fastest propeller driven pass @ 270.2mph. Set up with a gas turbine and twin prop gearbox this hull ...
