NA2026.36Description
14' composite monohull morphing sailboat, complete with rigging and sail.
This adaptive hull is a continuous monocoque structure comprised of semi-rigid deformable material devoid of hinges or similar articulating mechanical joints. The desired shape change is accomplished by applying forces at specific locations on the hull. All deformation is within the elastic limits of the materials employed assuring no compromise of the long-term operational performance. The hull shape can be adjusted underway.Acquisition
