     The Seakeeper hydrodynamic and seakeeping analysis program provides fast, reliable calculation of vessel response and seakeeping characteristics for many types of Maxsurf designs in a variety of sea states.

     Seakeeper can be used for analyzing seakeeping characteristics of monohulls or catamarans (does not consider roll for cats) and will predict motions for all types of displacement craft or where the effects of dynamic lift due to forward speed are small.

     All data is displayed simultaneously in graphical and tabular form and is automatically updated when changes are made and as the analysis progresses. All data may be copied to spreadsheets and other applications for presentation purposes or further analysis, e.g. calculation of Motion Sickness Incidence, probability of slamming, propeller emergence, etc.
