We at Floating Ohm, started without a pre-conceived idea of what the hull form should take other than the limits observed in the previous commentary relating to physical restraints and application. In Naval Architecture we use non-dimensional characteristic coefficients in order to be able to compare different sized vessels. One such coefficient is the Froude number (Fn - see note below for the definition) which enables us to compare the hydrodynamic characteristics of differ

As we have discussed previously good design needs to consider all the user and operational requirements. The expanded design requirements...

Looking at the design constraints of a craft operating in the UK canal network we find that the following restrictions apply for vessels...

We at Floating Ohm, when looking to generate an Engineering solution for any particular requirement, always start with the full...

Our aim at Floating Ohm is to produce elegant, tailored designs with a focus on detail. This applies to all aspects of the design, be it...
