What is the hull speed for a Catalina 22 sailboat?
A rough estimate of hull speed in knots is 1.34 times the square root of the length at the waterline in feet. The Catalina 22 has a 19 foot waterline, leading to an estimated hull speed of 5.8 knots
What type of hull is?
A sailboat without a sail is but a hull of itself.
What type of hull does a sailboat and a trawler have?
round bottom hull
Most cruising sailboat and trawler have what type of hull?
A round hull.
How fast can a sailboat sail?
It depends on many factors. The hull shape, how the sails are rigged, how much sail area you have, the ability of the crew, the wind speed, the tide.
How fast generally will a 25 ft sailboat travel motoring with 9.9 hp Johnson outboard?
maximum speed (hull speed) with a displacement hull with a 25ft waterline would be 6.75 knots or 7.76 mph. You 25 ft boat may have a shorter waterline, thus be a little slower.
How much does a Sunfish sailboat hull weigh?
That depends on what length Sunfish you are referring to.
What is the hull of a sailboat?
The hull of a boat is the body of the boat. it is the part of the boat in the water. excluding the mast, boom, sail, rudder, keel, etc.
How wind and water work together with the sailboat?
Wind and Water are the main elements that help the boat to sail. Water helps the barge or hull to push forward and the wind gives extra speed.
Why does a sailboat float?
A sailboat will have positive buoyancy if the weight of the boat is less than the weight of the water it takes the place of. The weight of the water that is being occupied by the hull is displacement.
A sailboat is approaching a PWC head-on What should the sailboat do?
Maintain present course and speed.
Difference between displacement and planning hull?
A displacement hull always displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the boat. A planing hull at a certain speed, will begin PLANING and rise partly out of the water, forced up by its v shaped hull, and only be displacing an amount of water equal to partial weight of the boat. A large ship, a tugboat, a barge, or a sailboat are displacement hulls. A speedboat or a jetski are planing hulls.
