| 1) The design of small boats and fast boats Hydrodynamics of semi-planning hulls and planning-hulls: speed coefficients, lift-coefficients, wet length, ... Definitions of fast boat shapes: shapes, floor timber measurements, redan dimensioning, ... Dynamic stability. Elements of alternative propulsion : waterjet, outboard, Z-drive. Practical design aspects. 2) Sail boats Theory: balance of a sailboat (tailwind and downwind). Stability : weight, shape, global and initial. Multi-hull stability : catamaran and trimaran. Floatability and longitudinal stability. Resistance to advance, planing, anti-drift force. Combination hull-sail and stability. Practical design aspects. |
