Numerical analysis of side hull configuration in Trimaran
Negative heel angle was always associated with increased side hull resistance. While at positive heel angle trimaran showed different behavior and resistance was increased and then decreased from heel angle of 0º to +4º. Thus, at Froude number 0.4 and 0.45, float behavior was not constant and did not show a stable pattern at positive heel angles.
Trimaran heeling angles
I tried measuring the heeling angle from my youtube videos (wadetarzia, 'trimaran conversion'), and the low-wind (close reach) heel seems 10 degrees, and when pressed with better wind and going about 6 knots, the angle seems to be 15 degrees (again,measured off a video on the computer screen with a protactor, not too scientific).
Optimal Angle of Heeling
A good heel angle for the Merit 25 is 15° - 20°, less than you would heel a J/24. When you find your heel angle exceeding this, move crew weight to windward, flatten the sails and keep the main sheet out of the cleat so your trimmer can ease in. the puffs and sheet back in during the lulls. In gusty conditions, the benefits from active ...
Angle of heel on a sailboat
They typically perform best at an angle of heel between 10° and 20°. Once a cruising boat heels beyond 20°, its weather helm tends to increase, making it more challenging to steer, and the boat might not sail as efficiently. ... Multihulls (Catamarans and Trimarans): These vessels are designed to sail relatively flat. Heeling angles over 10 ...

Heeling Angles for Small Trimarans Under 20' 0" LOA
Would designers/builders (or anyone else knows) list their trimarans heeling angle for up to 30 knot wind speed for their boats from 12' 0" to 20' 0" (for all points of sailing excluding down wind run and pointing into the wind when the trimaran will be upright position) so potential clients can choose the type of boat that meets their heeling tendencies.
Research on the influence of trimaran side hull layout on its
As the side hull moves from the middle of the hull to the stern, the overshoot angles (1st) and the overshoot angles (2nd) decrease, the course keeping ability and yaw checking ability of the trimaran improved, and the heel angle is relatively small when the side hull is located at the stern of the main hull (see Table 19, Table 20).
Trimarans: Angle of Heel at Main Hull Takeoff
I'd appreciate all the help I can get from designers and sailors with getting information on the main hull take off angle of heel of as many trimarans as possible. This is with the main hull "just kissing" (say 1mm above the water) . I've run into wide variations and I'm interested in getting lots more info for which I will be very grateful.
How to sail a trimaran: Expert advice for sailing with three hulls
Trimaran sail trim. One of the biggest differences between a cruising monohull and a multihull is how the mainsail is trimmed. Leech tension on a yacht is often largely controlled by the kicker and the backstay, while the mainsheet sheets the mainsail in and out, predominantly controlling the angle of the boom to the centreline, and there may be a short traveller.
Experimental study of slamming pressure for a trimaran section with
The impact angles of the different pressure measuring points change with the heel angle of the trimaran section, as listed in Table 6. The acceleration and velocity of the trimaran with different heel angles in a 0.27-m drop height are shown in Fig. 17. It can be seen from the results that there is a slight difference between the acceleration ...

Roll Angle vs Human Effectiveness
Studies by Warhurst and Cerasini of the Naval Ship R&D Center discovered that at a slight roll and heel angle, a human actually becomes more alert and his performance increases. However, as the roll intensifies, effectiveness and fatigue deteriorate until total incapacitation is approached beyond 45 degrees. Roll behavior of monohulls is quite ...

Multihull Capsize Risk Check
In addition, as a trimaran heels, the downward pressure of wind on the sail increases, increasing the risk of capsize. The initial heel on a trimaran is more than it is on catamarans, and all of that downward force pushes the ama even deeper in the water. Thus, like monohulls, it usually makes sense to keep heel moderate.
