Abstract
Over the past years a considerable extension has been given to the Delft Systematic Yacht
Hull Series (DSYHS) The DSYHS data set now contains information about both the bare
hull and appended bull resistance in the upright and the heeled condition, the resistance
increase due to the longitudinal trimming moment of the sails, the sideforce production and
induced resistance due to sideforce at various combinations of forward speeds, leeway
angles and heeling angles. New formulations for the relevant hydrodynamic forces as
function of the hull geometry parameters have been derived to be able to deal with a larger
variety of yacht hull shapes and appendage designs. During the past two years some results
of this research have already been published. In the present paper an almost complete
picture of the relevant expressions which may be used in a Velocity Prediction Program
(VPP) will be presented.

1 - INTRODUCTION
‘The Delft Systematic Yacht Hull Series is a very extensive series of systematic yacht hulls
consisting of some 50 models by now, all of which have been tested at the Delft
Shiphydromechanics Laboratory of the Delft University of Technology over the last 25
years.
‘The aim of these investigations which led to the testing of these 50 models of the DSYHS
was the developments of equations that could be used as an approximation method for the
assessment of the most important hydrodynamic forces acting on a sailing yacht. The shape
of the yacht designs has changed considerably over these 25 years which necessitated the
change in the shapes of the hulls tested as well as in the approach and/or method of anal
‘of the measured data of the DSYHS. Therefore over the total span (in time) of the DSYHS
three different parent models have been used. In it's sort the DSYHS is probably the largest
systematic series with such a high degree of consistency in both the model shapes and
measurement techniques, procedures and analysis.
Based on the equations derived from the results of the DSYHS a Velocity Prediction
Program was to be developed, which should enable designers of sailing yachts to evaluate
their designs and the possible design variations on their performance in an early design
stage.
In conjunction with this DSYHS a number of smaller systematic series have been tested
aimed at solving specific problems not (fully) covered by the DSYHS. In this respect the
research on appendage drag and sideforce production should be mentioned. Due to the
rather large development in the appendage design and layout in the last decades the standard
appendages of the DSYHS did no longer do justice to these new design trends. This
research was aimed to derive formulations for the forces on the appendages separately, so
that a larger variety of designs could be deal with and was based on a series model
experiments containing some 13 different keel configuration placed underneath one
particular yacht hull and on a series of experiments with 6 different keels undemeath two
systematically different hulls.
The growing interest in the behaviour of the yachts in waves and in particular the added
resistance due to these waves has led to research specifically aimed at the calculation of this
added resistance suitable for the use in a VPP environment.
Inevitably also the approach towards the assessment of the forces involved has changed over
the past 25 years, which led to additional tests with all the models, also with those already
previously tested, for instance to measure bare hull resistance and the change in resistance
due to trim and heeling alone.
‘All these changes mentioned above have led to a substantial new set of polynomial
expressions suitable for the approximation of the hydrodynamic forces involved in the
sailing yacht equilibrium,
During the last decades a considerable number of publications on the these subject of
calculating the hydrodynamic forces on the sailing yacht have been published by Gerritsma
et al,, all of which may be found in the List of References at the end of this paper. A part
of the newly derived formulations have already been presented in some recent publications
of the Delft Shiphydromechanics Laboratory. In the present paper however the new
calculation schedule and the complete set of equations that goes with this schedule will be
presented.

components is presented in Figure 1 as a kind of flow chart. The decomposition is as

‘The upright resistance of the bare hull is the starting point of the calculation scheme. In this,
condition the frictional resistance and the residuary resistance are calculated. Then the
resistance of keel and rudder are determined in the same condition also as the summation of
a viscous and a residuary part. In this upright condition the added resistance of the hull due
to wind waves is calculated and added when applicable, i.e. in the upwind courses from
close hauled to beam reach, Then the yacht is heeled over and the ‘deltas’ of the frictional
resistance of the hull and the residuary resistance of the hull, the keel and the rudder are
determined. Subsequently the yacht assumes leeway and the induced resistance due to the
side force is calculated as a function of heeling angle. Finally the change in resistance due
to the trimming moment of the crew, adjusting its longitudinal position along the length of
the yacht to counteract the bow dowa trimming moment caused by driving force of the sails
in particular at the running and reaching courses, will be brought into the calculation,
Finally the summation of all these components yields the total resistance of the yacht. For
each of these components expressions will be presented in the following paragraphs.
In formula the total resistance asa sum of the various components can be written as:
qa)
RtoB = Rho + Rokr + Rrh-+ dRrh0+dRrhg + Rrk +dRrkp + Ri

contributions to the total resistance for Sysser models 1 and 25 are presented in Figure 2.
Each line adds the component as labelled in the legend:

Figure 2. Relative Resistance Contributions
Noticeable is the different influence of the resistance caused by the trimming moment. For
model 25 the total resistance decreases when the crew compensates the forward trimming
moment of the sail force. While for model 1 this influence is limited to an resistance
increase in the middle speed range only.

2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE DSYHS
The original parent model chosen for the Delft Systematic Yacht Hull Series in 1974 was
the well known “Standfast 43” designed by Frans Maas at Breskens, The Netherlands. The
Standfast 43 was a typical contemporary racing yacht design. From this parent model
(model 1), 21 other systematically varied designs have been derived (model 2 to model 22)
using, as far as feasible, an affine transformation technique. All models were consequently
tested in the towing tank over a period of 10 years. This sub-series of the DSYHS is known
as “DSYHS Series 1”
After 10 years the typical yacht designs started to differ considerably from the lines of this
original parent and therefore it was decided in 1983 to introduce a new parent model into
the DSYHS according to the lines presented to the Delfi Shiphydromechanics Laboratory by
Van der Stadt Design at Wormerveer, The Netherlands. From this second parent huli,
model 25, another 6 new variations were derived known as sub-series “DSYHS Series 2”
(model 23 through model 28) and later another 12 models based on the same parent with
special emphasis on very light displacement and higher Length to Beam ratios (model 29
through model 40; “DSYHS Series 3”). Finally in 1995 yet another parent model was
introduced into the DSYHS according to the lines presented to the Delft
Shiphydromechanics Laboratory by Sparkman and Stephens from New York, United States
of America, known as the “IMS 40” especially designed for research and which was
intended as some “average” International Measurement System (IMS) design. From this
third parent model, model 44, another 9 variations have been tested sofar and is now known
as sub-series “DSYHS Series 4” (model 42 through model 50).
In general it is believed that by this significant variety in hull shapes a sufficiently large
area of possible yacht designs is being covered by the DSYHS to make its results and the
derivations therefrom applicable to a large diversity of yacht designs.
Nevertheless new additions to the DSYHS in the future may still be necessary to keep up
with (inevitable) developments in yacht design.
To give an impression of the hull shapes, the bodyplan of the three parent models are
presented in Figure 3 on the next page.

2-1 TEST SETUP
All models have been tested in the #1 towing tank of the Delft Shiphydromechanics
Laboratory with a length of 145 meter, width of 4. 5 meter and depth of 2.5 meter. The
model size within the DSYHS ranges between 1.6 meter waterline length for Series 1 to
2.00 meter waterline length for the other models (Series 2, 3 and 4).
All models have been tested as bare hulls (unappended) in the speed range from Fn = 0.10
to Fn = 0.60 to measure resistance, sinkage and trim in the following conditions:
- upright with no trim correction for the driving sail forces
upright with trim correction for the driving sail forces
- heeled to 20 degrees heel with no correction for trim due to sail forces
In addition the majority of the models have been fitted with a keel and rudder, identical for
all models and according to the plan as presented in Figure 4. For the sake of consistency
throughout the series all these models have been fitted with physical the same keel and
rudder. This implies that the relative magnitude of the keel and rudder on the full scale
yachts with 10 meter waterline length is dependent on the model size and the scale factor
used.

All these appended models have been tested in the following conditions:
- upright with no trim correction for driving sail forces (Fn = 0.10....0.60)
- heeled, yawed and trimmed condition in a matrix consisting of all combinations of
~ 4 heeling angles (i.e. 0, 10, 20 and 30 degrees)
- at least three different speeds . ranging from Fn = 0.25 to 0.45)
- 4 different leeway angles (ie. ranging from 0 to 12 degrees)
107The International HISWA Symposium
During the experiments the following values were measured:
~ forward speed of the model
- resistance force
heeling angle
~ heeling moment
~ leeway angle
- side force and yawing moment
~ sinkage and trim (at speed)
~ trimming moment
The standard measurement _ technique
developed for sailing yachts experiments at
the Delft Shiphydromechanics Laboratory
has been used throughout the whole series.
This technique implies that the model is
connected to the towing carriage in such a
way that it is free to heave, roll and pitch
but restrained in all other modes of motion.
The connection to the towing carriage is
established by means of two balanced arms
situated at equal distances fore and aft of
the longitudinal position of the Centre of
Gravity of the model at deck level. A
schematic presentation of the measurement
set-up is presented in Figure 5. Figure 5 Test Set-up under Towing Carriage
During the measurements the model is fitted with carborundum strips for turbulence
stimulation, both on the hull and the appendages. On the hull three strips are placed which
are 4.0 cm wide each and placed at equal separation with the first strip at the forward end
of the waterline and the after most one approximately at station 61/2 just forward of the
leading edge of the keel. On the keel and rudder one single strip is placed close to the
leading edge of the appendages and these have a width of 3.0 cm for the keel and for the
rudder 2.0 cm. To correct for the extra resistance originating from the presence of the strip
itself all resistance tests are carried out twice: once with half width and once with full width
of the strips. The difference in resistance between these two conditions is used to determine
the resistance of the strips. The model resistance is obtained by subtracting the extra
resistance from the strips from the measured model resistance.
All model data are extrapolated to a full scale 10 m waterline length yacht. The
extrapolation is carried out according to Froude’s extrapolation technique.

For the determination of the frictional resistance ‘Rf’ use is made of the following
expression:
@)
Rf =kpV?-S-Cf
where:
p density of water kg/m?
v the forward velocity of the yacht m/s
s the wetted area at zero speed im?
cf friction coefficient
In the determination of the frictional resistance use is being made of the well known ITTC-
57 extrapolation line, according to:

(log(an) 2)"
in which the hull Reynolds number Rn is determined by:
(4)
pp = V0.7 Lvl
v
in which:
Lwl waterline length m
v kinematic viscosity m/s
‘As may be seen from this expression for the reference length necessary for the
determination of the Reynolds Number ‘Rn’ 70% of the waterline length is taken. For the
appendages the average chord length is used for the determination of the Reynolds Number.
109The International HISWA Symposium
on Yacht Design and Yacht Construction
For the upright conditions a so-called Prohaska plot is made to determine the formfactor of
the hull. As a typical example of such a Prohaska plot of the DSYHS in Figure 6 the plots
are presented for the three parent models of the Series. From these figures it may be
concluded that the formfactor is generally small. In general the formfactor using this
described turbulence stimulation technique and derived from the Prohaska plots has been
found to be in the range from ‘k’ = 0.03 to ‘k’ = 0.07 in most cases and only in one or
‘two exceptional cases *k’ exceeded these values.

Since no well based or generally accepted formulation is known (nor could it be derived
from the results with the DSYHS) determining the formfactor *k’ as function of the hull
geometry parameters of any arbitrary hull, it was decided, from the beginning of the series,
not to use a formfactor for the calculation of the viscous resistance in the extrapolation
procedure. This would make such a calculation method of ‘k’ necessary in order to be able
to calculate the resistance of a specific yacht under consideration.

3-1 CANOEBODY RESISTANCE
As shown in the flow component chart for the definition of the various resistance
components (Figure 1) the first resistance to be assessed is the bare hull canoe body
resistance.
3-1-1 UPRIGHT RESISTANCE
First the resistance in the upright sailing condition will be calculated. Two separate parts of
the resistance in the upright condition will be considered: i.e. the frictional (or viscous)
resistance and the residuary resistance.
3-l-L-1 VISCOUS RESISTANCE
‘The frictional resistance of the bare hull is determined using the following expression:
(5)
Rpk=1pV2-Se-Cf
in which:
p density of water kg/m?
v the forward velocity of the yacht m/s
Se the wetted area of the hull at zero speed m
Cf friction coefficient
The wetted area of the hull is considered to be known from the hydrostatic calculations. If
this is not the case the wetted area of the hull in the upright and zero speed condition may
be approximated by the following expression derived from regression using the hydrostatic
calculations carried out for all the models of the DSYHS:
(6)
197+0171 SHE). (965)" (ye. pws)
Te Cm
in which:
Bwl beam of waterline m
Te draft of canoe body m
Cm _midship section coefficient
Ve volume of displacement of canoe m
Lwl length of waterline m
Fully turbulent flow along the hull both during the experiments as in real life is assumed
and therefore the friction coefficient Cf is determined using the ITTC-57 extrapolation line.
Although the choice of 70% of the waterline length as the reference length in the Reynolds
Number, as shown before, is quite justifiable for the hull geometry’s of Series 1 the choice
remains debatable, Particularly for the more contemporary shapes of Series 2, 3 and 4, 90%
of the waterline length would appear more appropriate. For the sake of consistency however
lLThe International HISWA Symposium
on Yacht Design and Yacht Construction
70% of Lwl has been used throughout the whole DSYHS for the determination of the
frictional resistance. It should be noted that this therefore effects also the magnitude of the
residuary resistance part.
As explained before no “form” factor ‘k’ is used in the DSYHS for the transformation of
the frictional into the viscous resistance of the hull. This decision is based on the absence of
a generally accepted formulation of the form factor as a function of hull parameters for an
arbitrary hull. Such a formulation could also not be derived from the results of the DSYHS.
This implied that ‘k’ = 0 was the best approach leaving any differences in the viscous
resistance due to hull shape in the residuary resistance.
3-1-1-2 RESIDUARY RESISTANCE
Based on the experience gained with previous expressions for the determination of the
residuary resistance of the hull of a sailing yacht, see Ref. 1, Ref. 2 and Ref. 3, the
following expression for the residuary resistance of a yacht hull in the upright condition at
one specific Froude number has been found to yield sufficient accuracy as well as
“robustness”:

112The International HISWA Symposium
on Yacht Design and Yacht Construction
Some principal considerations which led to the presented shape of the parametric terms
contained in the polynomial are:
1. The parameters in the terms are coupled with the displacement length ratio to make them
dependent on displacement. The terms are composed in such a way that their supposed
contribution to the residuary resistance has a similar trend as the displacement length
ratio.
2. The beam to length ratio is introduced for all speeds involved as an contributing factor.
3. The beam to draft ratio is replaced by the ratio between the displacement and the wetted
area of the hull, which term is considered to yield more robustness and less sensitivity to
small changes in midship section shape.
4. The LCB-LCF separation is introduced as a possible measure of hull distortion.
5. Higher order terms of both Cp and LCB are introduced to yield optimum values of Cp
and LCB as function of speed within the range covered by the polynomial.
The coefficients of this polynomial expression have been determined at constant forward
speeds and are presented for a number of different Froude numbers using a least square fit
through the measured data. Since the original presentation of this expression in 1996, Ref.
3, the number of models tested within the DSYHS has increased therefore leading to
differences in the coefficients compared to those presented before. Also this time not all
models of the DSYHS have been included in the regression but only 39 out of the total of
50 models available have been used, leaving some of the more extreme or highly distorted
models out.
The coefficients ‘a,’ to ‘a,’ are presented in Table 4 for 11 different Froude numbers from
Fn = 0.10 to Fn = 0.60.

3-1-2. CHANGE IN RESISTANCE DUE TO HEEL.
‘When the yacht heels over there will be 2 change in the resistance of the yacht. In real
circumstances this heeling will be caused by the arthwarth forces on the sails. This implies
lift forces on the hull and its appendages also and therefor the induced resistance component
will be a large part of the change in total resistance. However to be able to calculate this
induced resistance more accurately first an attempt has been made to assess the change in
resistance due to heel alone, i.e. no sideforce involved. This resistance change is split in a
viscous and a residuary part, each being treated separately.
3-1-2-1 CHANGE IN VISCOUS RESISTANCE,
‘The change in viscous resistance due to heel of the canoe body is solely attributed to a
change in wetted area of the yacht hull. This implies no change in viscous resistance, i.e.
no change in formfactor, is taken into account. This approach originates from two
considerations:
1. A formfactor is not taken into account in the upright condition as well.
2. A change in form factor due to heel alone can hardly be established based on towing tank
measurements alone. The model could be towed with heel and without total sideforce
(possibly implying a small drift angle) but this does not mean that there is no sideforce
distribution along the length of the model which sums up to zero. This implies a possible
“mix up” between a complicated induced resistance component and a possible change in
formfactor.
Based on the hydrostatic calculations which have been carried out for all models of the
DSYHS the change in wetted area of he hulls with heeling angle has been determined. This
change in wetted area of the yachts could be approximated with a high degree of accuracy
by the following expression:

3-1-2-2 CHANGE IN RESIDUARY RESISTANCE
Due to the asymmetry of the hull when heeled and a corresponding change in the
distribution of displaced volume along the length a change in residuary resistance will most
probably occur,
To asses this change in resistance two possible approaches have been tried:
1. To use the same polynomial expression as used for the upright resistance of the canoe
body but determine new coefficients based on the measured data under heel. The result is
not a change in residuary resistance but the changed residuary resistance due to heel.
2. The change of residuary resistance due to heel is determined from the measured data and
a simplified polynomial expression is formulated for just this delta resistance alone.
Both approaches have their pro’s and con's. The results of the first approach have been
published in Ref. 5 but predicting the total residuary resistance of the heeled hull with the
‘upright geometrical properties of the upright hull seems less justifiable than predicting the
116The International HISWA Symposium
on Yacht Design and Yacht Construction
upright resistance with the upright parameters and using only some of these to predict the
generally small change (delta) due to heel. So the second approach is presented and used
throughout this report, although the differences with the first approach are generally small
for the cases investigated.
‘The change in residuary resistance of the canoe body due to heel is derived from the
measurements at zero and 20 degrees of heel with all models used for the upright condition
polynomial by determining the viscous resistance upright and heeled and subtracting these
from the total resistance of the hull upright and heeled respectively. According to:

The delta residuary resistance at 20 degrees of heel (as an average sailing angle) could then
be approximated by a polynomial expression given by:

‘The dependency on the heeling angle which is necessary to obtain values of the resistance
increase due to heel for any other angle of heel has been determined using a much smaller
database of measurement data. In general a good fit was obiained using a dependency of the
delta resistance on the heeling angle. The change is calculated to be equivalent with the
heeling angle to the power 1.7, according to:
(i)
ARrh, = ARPh,.49s6.0: 9"
with the heel angle ‘o’ in radians. The fit through the experimental data for a few DSYHS
models is shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 and demonstrates to be quite satisfactory.
It should be noticed in Figure 9 and Figure 10 that the delta part is small compared with the
upright resistance. The scale of the vertical axes in the graphs differ with factor 10.

3-2. APPENDAGE RESISTANCE
‘The resistance of the bare hull and the appendages are dealt with separately. The viscous
resistance of the appendages has been found to be independent of the heel angle and
therefore only one expressions is formulated for the calculation of this viscous part. Based
on the DSYHS experiments with systematic keel variations underneath various hulls it was
concluded that the residuary resistance of the appendages is significantly influenced by the
(immediate) presence of the free surface and therefore definitely has a heeling dependency.
So the residuary resistance of the appendages is determined in the upright condition first
and a delta resistance due to heel is formulated thereafter.

3-2-1 UPRIGHT APPENDAGE RESISTANCE
32-11 VISCOUS RESISTANCE
‘The viscous resistance ‘Rv’ of the appendages is considered to be a summation of the
frictional resistance and “other” viscous effects accounted for by the introduction of a
“form” factor.
(2)
Rv=Rf-(1+k)
For the calculation of the frictional resistance ‘Rf use is made of the following expression:
(13)
Rf =h-pV?S-Cf
in which
(4)
of = 005
(log(Rn)
originates from the ITTC ‘57 extrapolation line and is valid for a fully turbulent flow. For
the determination of the Reynolds number ‘Rn’ the average chord length of the appendage
may be used or, if the appendage is span wise divided in several segments, the local chord
length of such a section.
No attempt is being made here to take into account more complex dependency on the cross
section profiles of the appendage and so possibly for mixed flow, i.e. a combination of
laminar and turbulent flow over the chord of the appendage. There are no principal
procedural problems however for taking these mixed flow possibilities in account except
maybe the correct formulation of the frictional and form effects
The viscous and formdrag is taken into the calculation by making us? of the well known
formulation for *k’ as given by Hoerner’s “Fluid Dynamic Drag” Ref. 7 and generally
accepted in the aeronautical sciences, which determines the formfactor a sole function of the
relative thickness of the sections, according to:

Each of the appendages, i.e. keel and rudder(s), is treated in a similar manner using the
same formulations
For the “straight course” upright resistance a possible wake effect from the keel on the
rudder may be introduced. From experiments, in which the wake behind the keel on
sufficient distance aft of the kecl has been measured on a 3.5 meter Lwi model, an

acceptable mean reduction value of 0.80 times the free stream velocity has been found for
the water velocity over the rudder, see Ref. 8 and Ref. 9. The general applicability of this,
value may be disputed however and because the rudder will only be in the wake completely
if the yachts sails with absolutely no heel and no leeway, the necessity of such an approach
is also questionable.
3-2-1-2 APPENDAGE RESIDUARY RESISTANCE,
The very existence of a significant residuary resistance of the appendages beneath the hull
in the upright condition has long been disputed. A report in 1975 by Beukelman and
Keuning Ref, 10 however already showed an influence of the keel sweepback (i.c.
longitudinal distribution of the displaced keel volume over the length) on the upright
resistance of a yacht. From analysis of the results of the experiments with bare hull and the
appended model within the DSYHS, in which series one and the same keel has been tested
underneath a wide variety of hulls, it became obvious that a residuary resistance of the
appendages should be taken into account.
Straight forward comparison of the appended and unappended results within the DSYHS
however necessitated the subtraction of two big quantities to produce the residuary
resistance of the keels. This yielded too much scatter in the relatively small keel residuary
resistance component to justify a reliable assessment. Therefore an additional Delft
Systematic Keel Series (DSKS) has been set up, in which so far a family of 6 different keels
has been tested underneath two IACC type hulls with different Beam to Draft ratio’s. These
experiments are extensively described in Ref. 9 and Ref. 4, Also the results of recent
inyestigations on the DSKS by W M Meulemans, Ref. 14, are included. Therefore this
research will only be summarised briefly here. During these experiments the in the SKS the
resistance- and liftforces on the appendages were measured directly and separately as well
as the forces on the model as a whole. The tests program contained experiments both with
the bare hulls as with the hulls equipped with the various appendages. The standard
measurements and test program of the Delft Shiphydromechanics Laboratory have been
used during these experiments. The profiles and main dimensions of the keels used in the
experiments are presented in Figure 14 and Table 7 and for the two model hulls in Figure
11, Figure 12 and Table 8.

The parameters tested for their influence on this residuary resistance of the keel in the
upright position were: the span of the keel, the displaced volume and the vertical height of
the centre of buoyancy of the keel, the beam to draft ratio of the hull and the taper ratio of
the keel. In the analysis the keel resistance was determined as the difference between the
resistance of the appended and the unappended condition, so possible interference effects
between hull and appendage are contained in the keel resistance component. These results
are used to develop the polynomial expression for the keel resistance.
It should be noted that this DSKS is still under development and future extensions are
foreseen, which are intended to lead to an increased reliability of the keel residuary
resistance assessment
‘Another systematic keel series has been tested, which consisted of a series of 13 widely
different keels underneath one and the same hull, described in Ref. 11. This series is
refered to as the Delft Various Keel Series (DVKS).
In this series the hull of a JOR type maxi has been used to compare the usual IOR type keel
with a number of alternatives both for racing and cruising, like an Elliptical keel, keels with
Winglets, Centre boards, Shallow Draft keels , Upside-down keels etc. etc.
In the present assessment of the kee! residuary resistance only the IOR-, the Upside-down-
and the Shallow Draft keel are being used because the others are not sufficiently consistent
with the rest of the keels used. A side view and the main particulars of these keels are
presented in Figure 15 and Table 7. The particulars of the IOR type hull, Model 232, are
presented in Table 8.

This selection was supplemented with the measurements carried out with the standard
DSYHS kccl underneath the three parent models and the half span standard keel as tested
underneath Model 1
So the expression for the residuary resistance of the keel is derived from the following data:
The IOR-, the Shallow- and the Upside-down keel in the Delft Various Keel Series
(DYKS), 5 of the 6 keels tested in the Delft Systematic Keel Series with the IACC type
hulls (DSKS) and the parent models of the DSYHS of which Model I with half span keel
also.
The plan views of these keels are presented in Figure 13 through Figure 15, in which
figures all the keels are shown in correct relative size.

‘The following expression yielded a quite satisfactory fit through all the data and is based on
the relation between keel and hull volume, the taper ratio of the keel, the Beam to Draft
ratio of the hull, the vertical distance of the centre of buoyancy of the keel volume to the
free surface Zcb and the ratio of canoe body volume to keel volume.

For the lower Froude numbers the contribution of the residuary keel resistance in the total
resistance is not very large, but it increases for the high speeds. The data set however is still
rather limited for such a delicate resistance component and further research will certainly
contribute to increasing the reliability of these expressions.
