  2. Recreational trawler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_trawler

    A fishing trawler, for example, always has a displacement hull for load-carrying capacity. Recreational trawlers, on the other hand, are as likely to have a semi-displacement hull. However, with the rising cost of fuel and the lower fuel consumption (though also lower speed) offered by displacement hulls, they are gaining popularity among some ...

  3. Drifter (fishing boat) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifter_(fishing_boat)

    The Lydia Eva is the last surviving steam drifter of the herring fishing fleet based in Great Yarmouth. A drifter is a type of fishing boat. They were designed to catch herring in a long drift net. Herring fishing using drifters has a long history in the Netherlands and in many British fishing ports, particularly in East Scottish ports.

  4. Small-waterplane-area twin hull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Small-waterplane-area_twin_hull

    A small waterplane area twin hull, better known by the acronym SWATH, is a catamaran design that minimizes hull cross section area at the sea's surface. Minimizing the ship's volume near the surface area of the sea , where wave energy is located, minimizes a vessel's response to sea state, even in high seas and at high speeds.

  5. Brixham trawler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brixham_trawler

    The design was copied by boat builders around Britain, and some were sold to fishermen in other countries on the North Sea. [ 2 ] The Brixham trawler was a heavy displacement boat of some 60–80 ft length on the deck, with a long straight keel, a straight vertical stem, usually a fantail stern, and a low freeboard to ease the handling of the ...

  6. Planing (boat) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planing_(boat)

    Royal Navy World War II motor torpedo boat planing at speed on calm water showing its hard chine hull - note how most of the forepart of the boat is out of the water. At rest, a vessel's weight is borne entirely by the buoyant force. Every hull acts as a displacement hull at low speeds: the buoyant force is mainly responsible for supporting the ...

  7. Hull speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed

    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.

  8. Ultra light displacement boat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_light_displacement_boat

    An Ultra Light Displacement Boat (or ULDB) is a term used to refer to a modern form of sailboat watercraft with limited displacement relative to the hull size (waterline length). Principally manufactured from the mid 1970s through mid 1980s, these boats generally sit higher in the water allowing them to move faster in nearly all water types ...

  9. Monohull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monohull

    Displacement hulls - Monohull boats frequently ride deeply in the water, this is known as a displacement hull. Planing hulls - Hulls that ride on top of the water are called planing hulls, because when they reach speed, the hulls are substantially lifted above the water; this is known as planing (to plane).
