Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
Should have seen the props in the first pic! Tell us a bit more then, It´s a pilot boat which you´re going to work with ? The draught seems very litlle with only 1 mtr. won´t she roll too much? Engine? Speed, Age, lenght, weight?

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
From Wikipedia:
Planing describes the state in which the hull of a waterborne craft is lifting up higher up to the point where it merely skims across the water, rather than moving through it. It describes a craft which is predominantly supported by hydrodynamic lift, rather than hydrostatic lift (buoyancy). This happens due to the relative motion of the passing water pushing the hull up, it rises up with dynamic lift. As the hull rises up the wetted surface becomes smaller, thus reducing hydrodynamic drag and making higher speeds achievable.

Since this no longer has anything to do with Ayamonte (did it ever?) I am moving it to Siesta Time.
