MULTIHULL DYNAMICS

In 2004 with Mr. Markwood's original database of 200 plus multihull sailboats, we developed the framework for multihull assessment used on this website and described in Calvin H Markwood's "Analysis and Comparisons of Cruising Multihulls ", the analytical evaluation technique we use in detail and why we use it. The database has grown to over 1100 multihulls. Our focus is ‘cruising multihulls' though the formulas can be applied to most multihull sailboats. Over the years we have fine tuned the formulas we use in evaluating both catamaran and trimaran cruising multihulls... Like so many of you we enjoy the assessments of these boat's and comparing them to each other. We believe the comparison results between 2 or more multihulls show an accurate relationship between the boats compared; but the "Formula" performance results my not reflect the actual "real world experience on the water". However we maintain the relationship between the boats compared is accurate, when the data is..
