Training and Small Craft Data

Two sources of small craft information/training:

Online courses in a variety of subjects;

I also got the collection of small craft papers from SNAME. There are about three hundred papers from 1985-2002. This is the flyer for buying them at the meeting, but I assume they will sell it by mail too.

Re: your boats suck

Now, Now, Guest you have been drinking again.

Well, our esteemed Guest may be telling the truth. At least, when it comes to waterjet-powered boats. They suck, but then they blow it out their a**. <grin>

 

Could he be talking about sail boats? When it doesn't blow - they suck

 

Re

He could also be talking about dredges.

 

Of course, he might be much deeper into this planing hull theory stuff, what with the transitory high pressure and low pressure zones of the planing surface. One could, I suppose, consider that a low pressure area on the hull caused by hydrodynamic flow as a portion of the boat being in the condition of sucking.

Clever fellow, this Guest. I'd like to see his math.
