Dissimilar design in hydros

[Slideblues]

That is to say the right side does not mimic the left,

Creative and usefull tool in design? Some fast guy's use this method.

Thoughts?

There should be some more shots of the hull at IMPBA 4 under "Race Pics".

Would the objective in building a dissimilar hull be to increase lift on the right side to counter torque roll, or ballast the left side more making it harder to roll? That boat looks interesting, I've never seen a dissimilar hull before. OK with the 2nd pic I see what it's doing, lifting the left side similar to the stagger stock cars use on an oval track, making it lean into the turns, kinda kewl. lol

That is interesting. B) The HH12 front sponsons look to be a mirror, but on closer inspection, the ride surfaces are different widths. This is to help it track straight.

Looks as though he is a racer who runs in very rough water?? Is that why the misshaped sponsons?

What about sliding the tub to one side, offsetting it on the booms ?

The HH12 tub is offset between the front soponsons.
