Hull speed or displacement speed is the speed at which the wavelength of a vessel's bow wave is equal to the waterline length of the vessel. As boat speed increases from rest, the wavelength of the bow wave increases, and usually its crest-to-trough dimension (height) increases as well. When hull speed is exceeded, a vessel in displacement mode ...
A velocity prediction program (VPP) is a computer program which solves for the performance of a sailing yacht in various wind conditions by balancing hull and sail forces. VPPs are used by yacht designers, boat builders, model testers, sailors, sailmakers, also America's Cup teams, to predict the performance of a sailboat before it has been built or prior to major modifications.
The boat has a draft of 2.29 ft (0.70 m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] The design has a hull speed of 5.15 kn (9.54 km/h). [3]
The maximum speed provided by the motor is 5.0 kn (9.3 km/h), while the design has a hull speed of 5.52 kn (10.22 km/h). [2] [3] For sailing the design is equipped with a self-tacking Hoyt jib boom system and a roller furling jib. The loose-footed mainsail is full-battened and stowed on the boom with standard lazy jacks. All lines are led under ...
The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the centerboard extended and 4 in (10 cm) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [2] The design has a hull speed of 4.92 kn (9.11 km/h). [2]
The boat has a draft of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the standard keel. [1] [4] The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 225 with a high of 222 and low of 231. It has a hull speed of 6.21 kn (11.50 km/h). [2] [4]
Boat insurance: It typically costs around 1 to 5 percent of the boat’s value. So, using the example above, the average annual cost of insurance for a $20,000 boat would be between $200 and ...
The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering and a 2.5 hp (2 kW) motor was a factory option. Other factory options included a 202 sq ft (18.8 m 2) asymmetrical spinnaker, a road trailer and a launching dolly. [3] The design has a hull speed of 4.66 kn (8.63 km/h). [2] [4]
