Determining the main dimensions of a small-sized planing vessel at the initial design stage

Abstract: A statistical analysis of the dependences of the length of the planing vessel on the ratios of its main selected dimensions was performed. The study was carried out based upon data obtained from several dozens of planning ships built in different countries from 1995 to 2014. The authors made an analysis of the calculating formulas used in the design work and proposed an approximating dependence, which allowed calculating the ratio of length to width for small vessels, including a wide range of hull length changes, which is quite close to that recommended by successful operating experience. The formulas for determining the main dimensions have been derived. The results obtained and the size selection sequence given in the article can be used at the initial design stage of low-dimensional high-speed gliding vessels.
Keywords: planing vessels, main dimensions, approximation, design technique.
