Re: My Solar/Electric Catamaran


 

Interesting. So if I took off the rudder and added a fairing, the fairing could act like a rudder?

Lookin' good.
I found that adding a plastic fairing around the motor's shaft greatly reduces the drag at higher speeds, so you get a higher top speed with the same motor and prop.?


I have a small trimaran, and the motor itself seems to cause more drag than the hulls. Your cat hulls are probably similar.
