### Propulsion System Design for 39ft Aluminium Trimaran

Based on your specifications for a 39ft (11.9m LOA) aluminium trimaran with foil assists (2 per side, positioned between the central hull and amas for partial lift and drag reduction), I’ll focus on the inboard electric propulsion setup. I’ll assume a twin-prop configuration with one system in each ama (side hull) for balanced “smooth power out of each hull,” leaving the central hull free for accommodations, batteries, and foil attachments. This avoids cluttering the middle hull while providing redundancy and maneuverability. Total power is targeted at 50-60kW (25-30kW per hull) for cruising speeds of 8-12 knots under electric power, complementing sails for hybrid operation. The foils (e.g., curved or J-shaped assists attached to crossbeams) will reduce drag by 20-30% at speed, lowering power demands.

The system uses electric motors from H3X or Joule Motors (as alternatives), integrated with Python-Drive for vibration isolation. Emphasis is on a “level” (horizontally aligned) motor installation for optimal efficiency and minimal stress, with shaft angles kept low (5-8°) to ensure smooth torque delivery without excessive prop wash or hull interference. Props are selected and positioned to stay within the 1.0m draft, preventing grounding while maintaining efficiency.

#### Key Components

1. **Electric Motors**:

Both options are electric for silent, zero-emission operation, with instant torque for smooth acceleration. Cooling: Liquid-cooled (glycol or seawater loop) to handle heat in enclosed amas.

2. **Python-Drive Shaft System**:

3. **Reduction Gearbox** (if needed):

4. **Propeller**:

5. **Battery and Power Management**:

#### Inboard Setup and Installation (Per Ama Hull)

To achieve “level properly” (horizontal motor alignment for even weight distribution and minimal stress), the setup prioritizes a near-horizontal shaft line with precise alignment:

1. **Layout**:

2. **Alignment Process for Smooth Power**:

3. **Integration with Foils and Hull**:

#### Performance and Practical Notes

- **Efficiency**: 85-90% system-wide; range 50-100nm at 8 knots (depending on batteries). Foils boost by reducing wetted surface.

- **Cost Estimate**: Motors ~$10k-15k each; Python-Drive ~$2k-3k per unit; total propulsion ~$40k-60k (excluding batteries).

- **Build Tips**: Aluminium hulls need isolated mounts to prevent electrolysis. Test alignment dry and wet; consult class society (e.g., ABS) for shaft calcs.

- **Alternatives**: If Joule Motors preferred for custom EU-sourcing, their VESC allows finer tuning for foil-assisted modes.

If you provide more details (e.g., battery capacity, exact foil type, or prefer one motor brand), I can refine further!

Technical Co-Founder (Robotics + Simulation) - StealthCRX

About Stealth CRX
We’re an early-stage company started by two experienced founders. One has built and sold multiple tech businesses; the other brings industry knowledge and access to capital. We’re focused on a massive market that has been slow to adopt new technology and is ready for robotics to make a leap forward.

What We’re Building
We’re pushing existing robotic platforms further through simulation, software, and fast prototyping. The work is about getting real machines to do useful jobs, not publishing papers or chasing demos. That means small, cheap experiments, lots of iteration, and bridging simulation to the field.

The Role
We’re looking for a technical co-founder who thrives in a hands-on role. Early on, you’ll be the one wiring up sensors, tuning controllers, and running experiments in Isaac Sim before moving them to hardware. But that’s just the start. The bigger job is to build a world-class team around you—hardware engineers, software developers, operators—so that Stealth CRX can scale beyond prototypes into robust systems. This isn’t a fit for web or app developers—it’s for someone who’s spent real time with ROS, simulation tools, and robots that move.

This is not a remote-only position. We’ll be based in North Carolina, and while you don’t need to move permanently, the hands-on nature of the work requires frequent on-site presence. All that said, our culture prioritizes results and not “presenteeism.”

What You’ll Do

Who You Are

If your background is mainly web development or apps, this isn’t for you. If you’ve debugged ROS launch files, tuned a PID loop, or closed the gap between sim and real hardware, we want to talk.

Why Join

How to Apply
Send a DM here with your résumé and a short note on why this role excites you. Generic applications won’t be considered. We’ll follow up with a quick intro call, a deeper technical discussion, and—if there’s a fit—a short trial project to make sure we work well together.
