Well if you watch a race, you can see that there’s not much to do to avoid heaving and pitching at race pace. The goal in canoe technique is to...
Well the lines plan shows the fullest part of the waterline to be almost in front of the paddler, but if you watch old races they were sinking...
Yes that is clear, but if the maximum beam had been further back, the boat would have been that much easier to paddle. in the newer boats the...
Another question I have is how far back can the widest point of the boat be moved to help reducing pitching, before there is a increase in drag?...
Oh thats super kind of you to share! This forum is great!
Thanks I'll look into that too.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm glad its a good one, it's already in my amazon basket.
Yeah that's what I would like to do. I find using delftship really frustrating since I am using Solidworks dailing at work, but that is not the...
I know that. But most people building boats "start" with them by buying them and lofting plans from them. By lofting, I meant using batons to draw...
That’s the real question here. Does that subtlety make a real difference since everyone will paddle the boat differently. It’s lot like it needs...
Ok thats really helpful thanks a lot!
Thanks, any particular edition or are they all pretty much the same? Or rather Elements of Yacht Design by Norman Skene or the one called Skene's...
I've looked around the forum, but I haven't had any luck with this. How do you design a boat on paper? Everyone is talking about lofting, but...
Correct me if I’m wrong but those have to be engineered to be efficient at specific speeds, like bulbous bows, but the nature of racing...
As far as my common knowledge goes, square bottoms are more stable but slower due to friction/wetted surface. Stability isn’t such a big issue for...
yes I mean one only needs to watch a rowing regatta to see this boat compete against traditional hull forms. I don’t notice a difference when...
Oh I’m not making a “plywood” boat like that. It will be cold moulded veneers under vacuum so the hullform can be anything really. I get that “in...
Hello everyone. My name is Sabs, I've posted here before when I was doing my bachelor thesis project building a wooden racing canoe, and now...
So even a good sand blasting wouldn't make a noticeable difference, especially over the short race distances racing canoes and kayaks race over...
Stealth Boat could look cool and be just as fast! So if you hypothetically had a machine that could run gritted paper the length of the boat...
