  2. Planing (boat) - Wikipedia

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

    Planing sailing boats need a good sail area and powerboats need a high-power engine. Steps and chine ridges may also be incorporated into the design to encourage both ease of planing and stability. Most surfboards, although unpowered, are planing or semi-planing hulls. They utilize the push of the waveform more or less in combination with ...

  3. Hull (watercraft) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_(watercraft)

    Hull (watercraft) A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. The hull may open at the top (such as a dinghy), or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. Atop the deck may be a deckhouse and other superstructures, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is ...

  4. Chine (boating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chine_(boating)

    A padded V-hull is a hull shape found on both pure race boats and standard recreational craft. A variation of the more common V-hull , which has a V-section throughout the length of the vessel, a padded V-hull has a V-section at the bows and the forward part of the keel which then segues into a flat area typically 0.15 metres (5.9 in) to 0.25 ...

  5. Boat building - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat_building

    Boat building. Boat building is the design and construction of boats (instead of the larger ships) — and their on-board systems. This includes at minimum the construction of a hull, with any necessary propulsion, mechanical, navigation, safety and other service systems as the craft requires. [1]

  6. 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).

  7. Hydroplane (boat) - Wikipedia

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

    A hydroplane (or hydro, or thunderboat) is a fast motorboat, where the hull shape is such that at speed, the weight of the boat is supported by planing forces, rather than simple buoyancy. A key aspect of hydroplanes is that they use the water they are on for lift rather than buoyancy, as well as for propulsion and steering: when travelling at ...

  8. Tunnel hull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_hull

    Tunnel hull. A tunnel hull is a type of boat hull that uses two typically planing hulls with a solid centre that traps air. This entrapment then creates aerodynamic lift in addition to the planing (hydrodynamic) lift from the hulls. Many times this is attributed to ground effect. Theoretical research and full-scale testing of tunnel hulls has ...

  9. Dinghy sailing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinghy_sailing

    Dinghy sailing. A Contender dinghy on a broad reach. Dinghy sailing is the activity of sailing small boats by using five essential controls: The sails. The foils (i.e. the daggerboard or centreboard and rudder and sometimes lifting foils as found on the Moth) The trim (forward/rear angle of the boat in the water) Side-to-side balance of the ...
