Prismatic coeff...

[henrikb]

Here is another newbie question...
How do I determine the correct station to use when calculating the Cp? When max Bwl and max Canoebody draft is not at the same station, should I use the contour (seen in fwd to aft direction) of the canoebody instead of a single station?
:confused:
Cant find any recomendation on this in the "Principles of Yacht design"

Regards!

If they are very close, there won't be a great difference. If they are far apart, use the average.

CP is usually defined in terms of the section area curve, so it's the section of maximum area.
