Couldn't you engineer the lower hull to raise up and down ? Have it raised when heading for a dock or shallow water. Then lower for optimum deep water travel ? I know some sail boats have a retractable keel . Kind of the same thought. Have it lower hydraulically , then some type of mechanically actuated lock.
Astonishingly poor design choice @3:20 - that underwater fuselage operates at an Re of about 115,000,000 when at full speed, generating *stupendous* amounts of cavitation - no wonder it sucks 825hp to reach only 37kts.
All of you guys are doing great work look forward to seeing what you do in the future
HYSWAS has a great deal of potential, IMO. The design shown in this video is only one possible design out of many others.
Amazing staily
Perhaps there could be hydraulic struts between the SWATH hulls and the main hull. That way seasickness could be totally eliminated.
Thanks !
Catalina doesn't have deep enough places for that deep Catalina Express boat. The Isthmus is less than 20 feet, maybe even less, at low tide.

that would both add alot of weight and engineering costs, but i had the same idea.
Is there a way to access this study? I am very interested in this project for a development of a hydrofoil Katamaran yacht.
Although so many aspects of this design are fascinating, I can't help but think of how many whales would get rammed to death by it.
Sonar on the front of the submerged torpedo hull?
Haulover inlet beware you have seen your match

It's not a "TURBIN". That's head wear of a religion.
It's a "TUR-BYNE"
