Q:
|
Why
do hulls of the same length, beam, weight and power vary so in performance?
|
|
A: |
Here the effect of an engineered design is realized. The difference
between a boat designed by a qualified naval architect and one built
by backyard techniques may be many miles per hour. Boat design is
both a science and a skill which has evolved over many years. The
designer must be cognizant of the effect of weight, weight distribution,
deadrise and other hull characteristics which can affect overall performance.
Otherwise, a poor performing boat results. |
