COMPARATIVE RESISTANCE DATA FOR FOUR PLANING BOAT DESIGNS

Abstract

Four existing models of planing craft were retested at the Taylor Model Basin's "standard condition" for planing boat models. The test results for each model are presented in a design data sheet. The data are compared to show the effects of differences in hull form. These comparisons are independent of differences in hull loading, in LCG location, or in size of boat. Auxiliary graphs are included to assist in making estimates of speed and power for new designs.
