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.
A sailboat without a sail is but a hull of itself.

A round hull.
To determine the hull speed of a sailboat, multiply the square root of the length at the water line by 1.34. The answer will be in nautical miles per hour.
That depends on what length Sunfish you are referring to.
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.
The Hughes plant burned down in 1991, I understand with all molds.
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
Some water in the hull is inevitable; that's why bilge pumps and bailing buckets were invented. But a constant inflow of water is a bad sign; you may have a leak somewhere.
the mast and some ropes The sail is attached to the mast, which is in turn supported by stays (lines running from the mast fore and aft to the hull) and shrouds (lines running from the mast to the sides of the hull).
To make a fast sailboat hull, focus on a streamlined design that minimizes drag while maximizing stability. Use lightweight materials like fiberglass or carbon fiber to reduce weight and enhance speed. Ensure the hull shape has a narrow beam and a fine entry point, allowing it to cut through the water efficiently. Incorporate a well-designed keel and rudder for improved control and performance.
