Small Boat Hull Design

small boat hull design

The design concept consists of a bow with little buoyancy, a hull that slopes inward from the waterline and, ergo, a large reduction in wave-making resistance. while it works well in heavy seas, the drawbacks include reduced interior volume forward and a very wet ride because the waves come up and over the bow as a matter of course.. Some hull designers are loath to accept the limitations inherent in these two hull types and so attempt to combine the best features of the planing hull and the displacement hull by creating a design that can exceed theoretical hull speed yet provide the kind of stable, soft ride in waves that a displacement hull is famous for.. And the smaller a boat is the less able it is to accommodate for stability and weight-bearing issues, so boats under 20-feet can rarely carry a deep v and very small boats are usually flat-bottom or have minimal deadrise in the hull. a deep-v hull is considered by most to be the ideal design for charging through rough seas at high speeds..
