Custom Multihull Evaluation
-
Modify the specifications of a multihull. See how modification of one or more specifications can change performance and/or stability. Design specifications you can modify include displacement, sail area, beam overall, beam centerline, beam hull, length overall and length at waterline .

For catamarans see how the Bridgedeck Clearance (BdCl) compares to MDI's Nominal Bridgedeck Clearance evaluation tool, developed by Calvin H. Markwood, Engineering Analyst for MDI.

Custom Evaluation Example
Notes: Entering a Bcl (Beam centerline) or Bh (Beam hull) measurement is optional. Generally, the results of a calculation are more precise if they are entered. However if you do not enter them, the program will calculate them based on your other input, from our own algorithms.
If using US measurements enter measurement in tenths: 10' 3" = 10.25
