Davidson laboratory basic studies of planing hull hydrodynamics have produced a wealth of technology not generally available to the small-boat design profession. Include studies related to the preplaning resistance of transom-stern hulls, the effectiveness of trim control flaps, and the influence of reentrant transom forms. The present paper consolidates these results in a form, suitable for design purposes and Illustrates their application in predicting planing performance in smooth and rough water.
