I'm sorry about this Steve,
This .WMV movie file is best viewed with Windows Media Player - the standard viewer that comes with all Windows operating systems.
I sent you a copy by email.

Anyway, I don't see gaps in this URL: http://www.wavewalk.com/Jump-Paddle%20Skiing%2001.WMV
I hope it works either way

Yoav

landing barge

I have to design a landing barge for my strength of materials class.

The barge should carry at least 4 truck full of tractors.
The max. draft is 3.5 meters. A stability check of the barge must be performed (GM>0.6). An appropriate securing method must be desinged.

my dwt is 100 ton, how should I calculate my lightweight and displacement?
how should I calculate GM and the other stability calculation?

thanks,

What can I say?
This movie was edited with Windows Movie Maker - another standard tool that comes with every Windows operating system...
Maybe you'll be able to download it from the website? http://www.wavewalk.com/DEMO%20VIDEOS.html
It's the first movie on the list.

Great! -Sometimes perseverance pays
Yep, it's me demonstrating something we call "hyper stability" with this W1 boat that's 25" wide (63.5 cm for the rest of the world).
Well, this movie can also be a suggestion for a new paddle sport or workout activity for young and dynamic people. I prefer to use the boat for surfing and sailing.
