Basics

  • An aspect of naval engineering related to designing the hull
  • Mainly how to optimize it's geometry for the desired characteristics (stability, speed, and manuverabiliy)
  • Stil in progress (Also non-expert written)

In relation to small craft

  • Plotting + math here related to the OS Kayak and other small stuff
  • Seems to be the more flat the hull is the easier it is to turn and to "get going" as well as max speed
    • This comes with the downside of less stability (ie ease of "tipping over" due to little resistance to roll), and it is harder to passively hold a direction (called "tracking" ? ) (after paddling it will not stay in that straight line)
