[PCW] PDQ 41 design discussion

[HClews@aol.com]

I see that PDQ has now posted considerable  new detail on their 41 
powercat.  A technical section has been  added for the 41 (which can 
be found at:  http://pdqyachts.com/power/41technical.htm )  
In addition to the many downloadable  drawings, there are 6 pages of 
notes from designer Ted Clements on his  thinking behind the design.
Naturally, it's a bit of a sales  pitch, but there is much interesting 
design information to be found  here.  He discusses hull form; wave 
making and spray reduction; bridge deck  clearance and shape; wake 
interference; accommodation layout and  mechanical systems.  
It makes you realize just how much  thought must go into a 
successful powercat  design.

PS: Georgs, what ever happened to that PDQ  41 sea trial report?
