Kavi Ugl Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 There is no such thing as Breiwick Bay. Wick = a bay and Bay = a wick.. So, what you're saying is Breiwick wick. But yon Polarcus ships were pretty eye-catching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjeunson Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 ahhh thats prob the reason why then, i didnt know that. It's a few year since I last heard about it so the designs might be a step ahead again. Lots more analysis being done these days to predict motions and consequently the effects on fuel consumption. Mostly due to technology improving to allow more work on computers without test tanks being required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Whatever the dynamic benefits, I do find them aesthetically excellent. It is almost a steam-punk look, combining the modern with the reverse stemmed pre-dreadnought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogling Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yes, I think they're bonny to look at I did read somewhere, a while back, that the Axe Bow designers had looked at the shape of killer whales and dolphins noses for ideas on aqua-dynamics {is that a right word??} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
