[PCW] re camera boat

[Malcolm Tennant]

Dear Mark,

We have already designed the boat as described by Bill and construction is
well underway in Paraguay at www.dreamperformance.com  This is the Domino 20
design . The description of the Domino reads as if Bill had written it.  I
have raised the issue of anchoring, mooring etc with some of the extreme wave
piercer hulls, in several articles. I also pointed out that a lot of clients
consider the longer hulls, be they wave piercer or "normal', to be wasted
space.  Most clients want to fill up all the spaces. There was an old adage in
boat design which went:- "keep one third of the length for the boat". This
meant that if you made it longer and kept the ends empty then you would have a
much better boat. This is just as true today but commercial pressures of one
sort or another mean that this advice is seldom heeded.

Regards,

Malcolm Tennant.   ARINA  MA
