Analysis Resistance and Flow Patterns of Hull Catamaran AXE Bow for Tourism Boat

The AXE BOW type catamaran is a ship that is used specifically for recreational purposes between Beting Aceh Island, which has two hulls (catamarans). This analysis aims to see a more reductive resistance value that can be used in the waters of the Aceh Beting Island (Rupat). To get the main size of the ship, namely the parent design approach method, which is to find data on the main ship and the same displacement to analyze the value of the ship's resistance. And obtained the main data of the ship, namely, LOA=12.20 m, B=4.089 m, H=1.48 m, T=0.62 m, ∆=7.243 tons. The resistance value of the Ax Bow type catamaran is smaller than the Non Ax Bow type catamaran with a difference of 5.92%. Based on the results of running, the engine power of the Ax Bow type catamaran is 227 HP, while the Non Ax Bow type catamaran is 241 HP.
