So as I currently understand, initial instantaneous stability is dependent on the waterplane inertia, which is mostly a function of width (or its...
I’ve been playing around with an easy, on-water means of comparing the efficiency of human-powered craft (canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards) which...
I'm picking up on a two-year old thread at...
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...
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...
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...
