Turning Radius

Hi,

Im trying to calculate the turning radius of a High speed craft, anybody know where these papers are available


"Prediction of Craft Turning Characteristics"
Marine Technology. Vol. 28 No. 1 January 1991. Pages 1-13. By Stephen B. Denny and Nadine Hubbie.

"Manueverability of High-Speed Power Boats"
Lewandowski, Edward

I have tried the SNAME website and have had no luck, any ideas?

Or any other good papers on calculating the turning radius of small aplning craft,
