Hydrocontest 2018
About
In 2018, Oceanos team opted to optimize the existing boats rather than building new ones, aiming to attain maximum efficiency. The team chose to rectify all problems from last year and add fresh ideas to its designs, in order to get greatest boat’s performance.
Thus, we focused on the study of the hydrodynamic efficiency of the models and on the construction of propellers for each vessel as well. For this purpose, it was vital to carry out towing tank experiments.

Research
- Design of the reconstruction of the existing hull into a trimaran hull type.
- Meeting with Technohulls’ team and adjustment of the first design.
- Construction of two extra hulls with a very small draft at Techohull's facilities.
- Reinforcement of the final design by three stabilizer fins in order to counteract the roll by producing hydrodynamic lift or downforce when the boat needed it.
