Post by kapuzzella »

hi, I read that the 11 mt express international trojan is an animated hull, can you explain to me in which part of the hull is the balsa?

animated ?? Do you mean cored ? Most of the bottom and I believe sides are cored with balsa

RWS. I was curious about that comment. Do you know why that is?. I believe that I read that it was the best version of the Deltaconic hull, but not the reasoning behind it.

I'm not a marine engineer and do not know the terms they use, however I was told that in-water tests showed the 11 meter hull was the slipperiest of all the International series.

I don't know exactly WHAT that really means...

least drag?

most efficient?

requires the least HP to push onto plane?

I really don't know exactly what the term really means.

BEST !

It was the right comb of lenth/beam for the hull design .
