    wouldn't load properly. Try renaming the file with no spaces.

    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

    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 :D
    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.
