The Hull Fineness Ratio, known as the hull's beam-to-length ratio, is an interesting number. It is derived by simply dividing the waterline length of the hull by the waterline beam of the hull. Max. WL/Max. Beam WL = Hull Fineness Ratio Max. WL = length of the hull at waterline in ft. Max. Beam WL = beam of the hull at the waterline in feet.

Using two hulls bridged by a deck, the catamaran design provides additional beam, increased stability and, at the same time, increased speed (the slim twin hulls have little drag). Catamarans also generally have a shallower draft and require …

May 21, 2019 . A boat’s weight—and its distribution fore and aft—is central to hull design of any kind. We design the underwater volume of a hull to be distributed in a way that matches the optimal fore and aft center of gravity of the assembled boat plus her occupants and gear.

Boat Dock Building, Construction and Designs. In many instances, boat docks are built very similarly to traditional decks. They have the same weight distribution, along with the same beams, joists and decking. There are a few differences, however, to help account for the placement of the dock and the fact that a portion of it will be submerged.

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Formula. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33) D: Displacement of the boat in pounds; LWL: Waterline length in feet; LOA: Length overall in feet

Dec 15, 2015 . The beam or breadth of a vessel is also measured on the outside of the hull mid ship at the waterline. How the length, beam and height are combined results in the actual internal volume and the feeling of size and comfort aboard.

The design is conservative and built for comfort rather than speed. Inside space is very generous, with a 12-foot beam, a v-berth cabin in the forepeak, and a double cabin on the aft port side. Island Packet 35’s appear on the used market regularly, so locating one shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. Prices start at around $65,000. Niagara 35

Usually, this means starting with a female mold. The mold is first sprayed with gelcoat, then fiberglass cloth is applied, and then resin is used to saturate or “wet out” the fiberglass. When the resin cures, you have a hull or a boat part (for an explanation of the different boat parts, see our Beginner’s Guide to Boat Terminology).

Sep 24, 2007 . It's not possible to find a simple formula. You can try to collect data from boats you like and put them in a spreadsheet. Then if you plot beam vs length you will see the dots are spread around a curve, maybe. Short boats have relative more beam than long boats. L=2.5 x …

In designing the new 441 Sedan, Meridian's team of naval architects developed a new hull, deck, bridge and shearline. This all new design features a more aggressive profile and new hull-side windows for the guest stateroom, easier bridge access, better topside accommodations, and more natural light and woodwork in its interior living spaces.The 441's wide-open floor plan ensures smooth flow and unbroken lines of sight between the salon, the yacht…

Xaira is a 23.17 m / 76′1″ luxury sailing yacht. She was built by CNB in 2020. With a beam of 6.1 m and a draft of 3.5 m, she has a GRP hull and GRP superstructure. She is powered by Volvo Penta engines of 180 hp each giving her a maximum speed of 12 knots and a cruising speed of 9 knots. The sailing yacht can accommodate 8 guests in 4 cabins with an interior design by Jean Marc Piaton and ...

Designers strive to compromise hull fineness ratios, place heavy weights towards the CG (Center of Gravity), and engineer hull and overall beam to achieve a seaworthy balance, which is safe, yet provides ample liveaboard accommodations. Stability of a multihull, or the resistance to capsize, should be seen as three components.
This relationship should be in the vicinity of 39% to 42%. For a seaworthy cruising multihull it is important maintain the proper ratio between length and beam, which, in turn, balances equal amounts of athwartship with diagonal stability.
Boat dimensions terminology is important to learn for when you want to measure your boat and keep track of the dimensions or if you're shopping for a boat of a certain size. For the most part, length, width, and depth apply across different ranges. Important words in this category are: Beam – The width of the widest point of the boat
Diagonals are another way to approximate the path that water takes along the length of the hull, but this is more useful on boats without a hard chine like sailboats. Finally, much is made of a hull’s deadrise angle at the transom.
Building boat hulls is not a big headache but these basic points have to be kept in mind if you want a perfect streamlined hull. Say you are designing a ballasted boat; make sure that the weight of the boat (the up-weight) is always forty to fifty percent greater than the weight of the ballast.
When it comes to yacht performance there are two things to consider: aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Boat engineering considers erosion, corrosion and chemical analysis on top of the structural and architectural analysis that must be considered when a structure is in contact with the ocean and must navigate the physics entailed.
The formula for Fn is V divided by the square root of (g*L), where V is speed in m/s, g is gravity and L is waterline length in metres. But why is it useful to know this? 'When you think about hull speed, the Froude number around 0.4 is a good value to have in your head,' says Markov.
Computational techniques use different methods based on relocating and scaling hull segments. The intake value is the length of the hull, then three sections of the hull: entrance, middle body and run. Computational methods facilitate the boat hull design and easily allow numerical parameters to be modified for better design.
