High-speed planing hull hydrodynamics is a rapidly evolving field that investigates the behaviour of vessels designed to rise and skim on the water surface at high velocities. By utilising ...

Chine - The kayaking word for edges on a boat hull. The sharper the chine the better the boat will carve on a wave or into an eddy, but the more susceptible it will be to errant currents ...

There is “tripping a chine”, ... ABYC has made an effort at developing the H-26 performance testing method for planing hulls, but, ... when making a hard turn. ...

Model tests confirmed these results and, in addition, revealed that a hard-chine hull form is only more efficient than the FDHF counterpart at fully planing speeds. This hull form was called the ...
