The intent of this tread is to gather specific information on bridge deck (under wing) clearance for various catamarans. Your contributions are appreciated.
Once there is a substantial number of post the results will be posted here in summary form.
Here's what's requested
- Make
- Model
- Year
- Length
- Beam
- Design Displacement
- Actual Displacement (if known)
- Maximum under wing dimension
- Minimum under wing dimension (read "Notes" for example)
- Quick note about how your boat is loaded (i.e full/empty tanks, laden with cruising gear or light ship for racing.
- Affirmation that YOU took the measurement with the boat in the water.
- Boat measured in fresh or sea water.
- Measurements may be in Feet and inches or Centimeters
Notes:
1). Dimensions should be measured with the boat in the water.
2). Most catamarans have protuberances that compromise bridge deck clearance. Example: Fountain Pajot Venezia 42' has a nice maximum bridge deck clearance at the centerline, but near the hulls the MINIMUM dimension is maybe 12". These bump outs allow superior accommodation, but certainly must add to wave slap noise. Other examples of protuberances are under wing stingers, outboard engine fairings, escape hatch fairings, etc. Please ensure you identify and record both the Minimum AND Maximum under wing dimension accurately. Please use this format when submitting your information (copy and paste to your post and list data next to each item).
