In this study, a 30ft class high speed catamaran cruise boat is designed and resistance performances are investigated by model test at a circulating water tank. Design speed of the boat is 17knots(8.7m/s) and maximum speed is 20knots(10.3m/s) using 330ps twin engine. Each single bodies are designed unsymmetric planing hull considering high speed-length-ratio(Froude number) and wave interaction at inner part of the hull. Small size fins like chine are attached near free surface at each outside of the hull to separate wave along the hull side. The results show that the small chine plays a big role in separating the wave flowing along the hull. However, in the case of relatively heavy boat such as the developed hull, such a small power due to chine can not cause additional lift and cause resistance increase.

Recently, national attention on the regulations for carbon dioxide emission has risen. Thus, diverse attempts are being actively carried out to reduce the resistance of ships and to develop a new propelling system that reduces the emission of carbon dioxide. This study presents to induce a way to utilize the generated wind power for the electrical energy source of a ship’s lighting, air conditioning and heating by installing a compact wind power facility on the experiment target; a small size high-speed vessel. The vessel targeted for application is a 30ft high-speed leisure boat made of aluminum alloy. The wind power facility installed on the hull and the batteries that will be charged by the electric energy generated by the wind power system were considered at the designing stage of the boat. A new presumption equation for air resistance of wind turbines and efficient measures for management are suggested based on a model test that verifies the basic performance of the wind-powered leisure boat.

The initial hull form having a 3 gross tonnage and 30 knots class high speed leisure boat is newly developed based on a statistical analysis method. Fluid dynamics characteristics are studied by commercial CFD code, FLUENT. The effect of a fin attached on the hull side is investigated together. It can be found that the fin plays a role of increasing the resistance performan

보트의 초기설계단계에서 설계자는 주요치수 결정을 위해 많은 정보를 필요로 하며, 그러한 정보의 대부분은 해당 보트와 유사한 실적선 자료들을 많은 시간에 걸쳐 조사 및 분석함으로써 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 결정된 주요치수는 설계과정(기본/상세설계) 전반에 걸쳐 영향을 미치게 되고, 이는 결국 보트의 안정성과 성능으로 직결된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 700여 척의 실적선 자료를 이용하여 보트 초기설계시스템(설계지원플랫폼)을 개발하고, 50피트급 고속보트를 대상으로 이를 활용하여 설계자가 초기설계단계에서도 주요치수를 편리하고 합리적으로 도출 및 결정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
