Recreational Craft Performance Study - Transom Immersion, Pitch and Heave Response of Three Planing Craft at Zero Speed in Following Seas

Abstract

Transom immersion, pitch and heave responses for models of three planing craft at zero speed in following seas were determined. The test craft were free in heave and pitch but restrained in surge, sway, roll and yaw. Tests were made in both regular and irregular waves. The results for one model (Deep- Vee hull) displayed a marked nonlinear response in the heave and pitch responses for wave lengths approximately equal to the overall length of the craft.
