An improved linear wave resistance theory tent function method for trimarans is proposed. Given fixed hull form of outriggers, the linear wave resistance was deduced into a quadratic form expressed by the center hull offsets. Then the quadratic programming optimization method could be used to seek the optimal center hull form. The proposed method was used to calculate the wave resistance of a trimaran...
