DO YOU HAVE A SLAPPER ?

12/05/2008 11:05

I have just spent 2 overnighters aboard a Nimbus 30S Nova ... the noisest bl...dy hull I have ever been on (is it the air stepped design I wonder ?)

It was not just the slapping, but the intermitent gurgling .... !

I cannot recollect reading anything about this ... ever ! I know boat hulls are designed for efficiency when underway, but what about when idle. Reading thru various mags and boat tests I do not see anything about boats being reviewed for overnight suitability (excl. space & equipment).

Are there some hull designs that we should stay away from if one intends to sleep (live) aboard ?
