  • Page 7: Tunnel Length

    6. High-Speed Boats Tunnel lengths must be increased to protect the propeller from damage when crashing against the water surface during high-speed cruising. (NB: This can include the length of a spoiler) SE20 & SE25 & SE30 & SE40 5611 2021...
  • Page 8: Tunnel Installation In Sailboats

    This installation is being used by some of the world’s largest sail boat builders and has proven to give little to no speed loss during normal cruising. This can also be an installation method for flat bottomed barges to avoid extremely long tunnels and large oval tunnel openings in the hull. SE20 & SE25 & SE30 & SE40 5611...

  • Page 11: Tunnel Installation

    (NB: Ensure gaps between the tunnel and the hull are completely fi lled with resin/ fi breglass. In areas where you can not access to make layers of resin/ fi breglass, a resin/ fi breglass mixture must be used in that area.) SE20 & SE25 & SE30 & SE40 5611...
