E6 Design
« on: November 09, 2009, 01:54:42 PM »
Any news on this new design? I have noticed it has been mentioned a couple of times on the forum. How is it better/how does it differ from an E5?

I wouldn't worry about that. People blow others out of the water not hull shapes.

depends if its a hover boat with no friction with the water........you never know ;)
i was just saying that it would be a bit annoying to launch a new boat just as the Mr croote launches a new boat that may be better suited to me and digby, etc...

HOVER BOAT.

Well, with typical internet forum logic: 1) No one seems willing to say anything and most designs are pretty well documented. 2) The designer has been working on moths recently. 3) Aardvark say it will shake things up a bit.

ITS A FOILER!!!!!!!!!!!

This is also conclusive proof that; man never made it to the moon, 9/11 was a hoax and the Titanic never sank.

John & rs405,
Instead of spending all winter in a fumey garage, get yourself a proven one ready to go and invest the time on the water!

peter, i already have a boat.
i would like to build either an e5 or e6 or any boat thats better than a dog too windward in chop as i believe that was a major factor at the nationals, especially day 2 or 3.

also, any offers for class members for ronin ;)

I am not convinced by the usefullnes of the T-foil in pre 97 hulls, my feeling is that it stuffs the bow in to much and stops the boat pitching over the waves.
The post 97 hulls have a much finer entry angle which seems to be an ongoing trend in designs , they can slice the waves much better.

for details of the E6 why not PM Kevin and ask if he is ready to publish some pictures?

The E6 is off the drawing board (computer to be more accurate)

The question is whether Ronin is the fastest thing afloat or Pete is just a sailling god who could beat us all no matter what he was in? And to answer your question the Bieker mould was destroyed.

seems there has been a lot of destroying of moulds from good designers recently. E6 looks nice... if not quite similar to a 'Banshee'.

So? Doesn't stop anyone building another. I liked the hull shape from the first time I saw the drawings, before it was built. Obviously boat speed is about 5% of the equation, but were I 20 years younger and building a boat that's the one I'd be going for.
