Which way is it?? aft sinks or bow sinks with paddle stroke This post by jehardiman with it's 2 alternate explainations illustrates just why...
2nd thoughts on the moments involved DCockey in post #40 stated that the aft sinkage was a simple case of torques or moments applied to the boat...
Axiom correct but empirical observations contradict?? We may have a language problem here. Daiquiri, I can read your post and understand the...
Torque and moment arm analysis YouTube videos seem to clearly show aft sinkage during each paddle stroke -- original question was for some...
Back to aft sinkage Very enlightening posts as I read this thread again. But I am still perplexed by the aft sinkage so clearly shown in...
Chines to help Planing?? I have found this thread to be extremely interesting. It appears that a multi-chine hull outperforms a single chine (V...
basic book on foiling Thanks Doug -- I plan to get the book asap --
Skinny hull can foil before planing?? Thanks Doug, great point -- I started this thread to explore foiling our small electric launch and would...
On the Verge of Planing?? Par, your post is encouraging -- What would you recommend for a better prop and might you know of any aftermarket...
Drag Analysis Daiquiri, I appreciate the analytical help and CFD analysis you have provided in our Transom Drag thread and am most anxious to...
Output of "55# thrust" MinnKota I had run across something several months ago which indicated these really only put out around 1HP or so even...
Foils came up in our thread on drag of a partially submerged transom at low speeds. It sounded intriguing but seemed off-subject so therefore a...
Re - Jurgen Sass "uncomfortable" with interest of amateurs I feel Mr Sass's post deserves a response and I have pondered as to just what to...
I agree and feel some beam aft with a transom can be a good way to reduce drag due to trim angle relating to squat near hull speed -- perhaps one...
Partially ventilated transom a transient condition I agree that a partially ventilated transom can be a transient condition for boats powered...
Water falling away from transom?? I accept or acknowledge the "transom drag" as associated with loss of hydrostatic pressure (forward) when a...
trim control Trim tabs would do the job but at significant drag penalty -- I meant an interceptor strip which generates lots of lift w/o much...
No added drag with partially wet hull?? 1) Per your #1 above -- Savitsky's observations from tank tests show full ventilation of transom...
Summary of the situation?? I think this thread has just about burned itself out and would like to summarize where my thinking is as a result of...
SLR instead of Fn vs wet transom drag Perhaps Fn is not the easiest key to looking at drag of a partially wet transom at low speeds --...
