hull speed

He's got the old bucket up to maximum hull speed now; look at the way she's squatting.

This is adequate to push the Ranger at Hull speed.

She fired up the rams and eased the foil ahead at hull speed, keeping it just off the step.

Hull speed can be calculated by the following formula:

Targan's thin characterizations cannot quite take the hull speed.

The Lord probably has a seven-knot hull speed, and with the right puff of wind it should have gone much farther.

This leads to the concept of 'hull speed'.

For example, world-class racing kayaks can exceed hull speed by more than 100%, even though they do not plane.

Two horsepower per meter can reach hull speed.

This hull speed is found by the formula:

"However, four months of defender trials have proven Young America's hull speed advantages.

As the yacht heeled over in the wind, more waterline length became available thus increasing theoretical hull speed.

For vessels with displacement hulls, the hull speed is determined by, amongst other things, the waterline length.

See Hull speed.

Heavy boats with hulls designed for planing generally cannot exceed hull speed without planing.

When hull speed is reached, a boat in pure displacement mode will appear trapped in a trough behind its very large bow wave.

A displacement hull's maximum speed (the hull speed) is directly proportional to the square root of its waterline length.

The concept of hull speed is not used in modern naval architecture, where considerations of speed-length ratio or Froude number are considered more helpful.

The hull is long and narrow with a V-shaped bottom, allowing for a high hull speed and improved high-speed stability.

As boat speed increases the hull lifts completely out of the water so drag is reduced and hull speed dramatically increased.

Rule of thumb is, one point three times the square root waterline length is your hull speed, so for that one, five or six knots."

Planing allows the boat to achieve a speed greater than theoretical hull speed based on length at waterline (LWL).

He was the first to formulate reliable laws for the resistance that water offers to ships (such as the hull speed equation) and for predicting their stability.

The long hollow bow helped to penetrate rather than ride over the wave produced by the hull at high speeds, reducing resistance as hull speed is approached.

The hull design of the Flying Scot makes it able to plane in winds of 15 knots or more, exceeding the waterline hull speed.
