One last question on fore and aft Cp I'm late to this discussion, but really hope someone can answer an unresolved issue without creating a new...
Thanks. That's quite sophisticated and sheds light on how entry angle and Cp are expected to change with vessel type and mid-body length....
Thanks. Yes, I'm looking at UliLines. I was trying to decide whether to use Freeship or Delftship, and it looks like UliLines will work just...
I know not to put all my faith in one parameter, but I'm a little perplexed as to how the prismatic coefficient can represent the fineness of the...
Very kind of you. Thanks. I'm actually pretty creaky myself. It was a hip injury that forced me out of kayaks and onto my feet. With more...
There is almost a hostility towards SUPs, perhaps because they can put a lot of unskilled, unsafe people on the water. They are obviously not...
Yes, a cat-like effect is a better description. I shouldn't have said "concave" since that implies an impression or depressioin in the hull. I...
Thank you. That is a very astute analysis, bow to stern, and provides a lot to think about. Admittedly, this design is a collection of...
The "plot" only thickens Thank you, though I would have thought just the opposite. That is, I naturally thought that as you push a wedge...
In watching videos of kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, a big hump of a bow wave can be seen building in the first third of the hull as speed...
Another newbie question. Whether it’s parabolic, Sears Hacck, sine wave, or other curves that are suggested for boat hulls, do these curves...
Likewise for bow entry half-angle? Similarly, I assume I should not worry about my bow entry angle if I'm otherwise happy with my semi-circular...
Thanks. So if I understand what you're saying, I'm not going to make my boat faster or better (even though it might appear so by the hull...
Simple newbie question here. I see BWL (maximum waterline beam) in so many metrics. But isn't there a hidden assumption that the hull sides are...
First post here, and I want to say what a great and impressive resource this forum is. I’m trying to complete a flat-water stand-up...
