What influenced me.....

With my group we found out that the best hull design to use was the catamaran design. Sam came up with the idea and my group and I decided that it was a good idea. We chose the catamaran design as it is easy to make and it is stable enough for balancing the items or whatever it is that it was holding up. We didn't quite like the 'v' shaped hull as if measurements went wrong even by a centimeter or so it would tip over easily. We also made our boat compact and small as it would glide through the air, if it was a race, easily. Some air resistance would be affecting the boat but since we kept it small and sleek, it would reduce that factor. We chose plastic as it was water resistant and light to water so it would most likely float up.
