Resistance Characteristics of Fishing Boats Series of ITU © Marine Technology, Vol. 45, No. 4, October 2008, pp. 194–210 Resistance Characteristics of Fishing Boats Series of ITU Muhsin Aydin1 and Aydin Salci2 This paper presents the results of the resistance and propulsion tests carried out during the development of the Fishing Boat Hull Form Series of ITU, providing the means of designing modern fishing boats capable of operating in the Black Sea, Marmara Sea, Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. Initially, nine modern hull forms were generated using the hull forms of the traditional Turkish fishing boats. The model resistance tests of these fishing boats were carried out in the lightship, loaded, and highly loaded conditions. In the present paper, these hull forms are introduced, followed by a systematic presentation of comparative results illustrating the scale effects and the extrapolation diagrams, the influence of the block coefficient, the length to beam ratio, the type of stern, the shape of chine and the fore and aft trim on viscous resistance (form factor k), and wave-making resistance (wave-making resistance coefficient CW). The findings on the effects of some appendages such as the rudder, the heel of the rudder and the stern tube on the viscous resistance (form factor k), and the total resistance (total resistance coefficient CTs) are also illustrated. Finally, a general discussion of the results obtained from the resistance tests, wake measurement tests, and flow visualization tests are presented. Keywords: resistance (general); hydrodynamics (hull form); fishing vessels 1.

  • Boat Hull Hydrodynamics
    Part I Boat Hull Hydrodynamics Introduction and Background Planing craft, particularly in the extensive worldwide boating industry, are the vastly dominant water craft type. “Planing” of a water craft occurs on accelerating to a sufficiently high speed. When such speed is initiated from rest in calm water, the hull bow angle is forced to increase upward, thereby increasing the angle of incidence of the boat bottom relative to the water surface. This incidence angle, interacting with the increasing boat speed, produces increased dynamic pressure on the boat bottom, which lifts the boat progressively further upward in elevation toward the level of the water surface. There is normally some overshoot: on reaching the level of the surface. The trim angle then decreases back toward equilibrium, with perhaps some oscillation, as the boat settles-in to steady planing on the calm water surface. Decisions required in the rational design of planing craft, particularly with regard to two aspects, are particularly difficult to conclude with precision: these aspects are planing speed and seaway motions (slamming). High speed and low seaway dynamics are the primary attributes sought in any new planing craft design undertaking, but they are conflicting. The characteristic most needed for low resistance, and consequently, high speed, is the weight located aft toward the stern of the boat. But weight aft tends to result in high impact acceleration when traversing waves. Further, weight aft can lead to “porpoising” instability, which is an oscillatory pitch motion in calm water accompanied by slamming oscillation. Conversely, weight forward results in reduced bow impact acceleration in waves, but also gives a long waterline, imposing higher resistance, and therefore reduced speed.

  • Knowing Your Boat Means Knowing Its Wake
    Knowing your boat means knowing its wake This is an illustrated guide to wave wake that expands upon the basics outlined in the low wake guide “Wake up? Slow Down”, which is available at: http://dpipwe.tas.gov.au/Documents/Guide-to-Low-Wave-Wake-Boating.pdf We all know ‘stow it – don’t throw it’ but what about what Bryce Courtenay’s Yowie said to the Dirty Rotten Rubbish Grumpkin: “not thinking is the same as not caring”? Here are 18 illustrations to help boaters think about their wake and its potential erosive impacts in sheltered, restricted or shallow waters. Environmental effects of wave wake In the open sea wave wake is likely to have little environmental effect since the waves are small compared to those that might occur naturally. It’s a very different matter in sheltered waters like riverine estuaries. The soft banks and beds of many Tasmanian waterways are vulnerable to damage from boat wake and prop wash. Typical easily-affected landforms include estuaries, inlets, lakes and lagoons; places where natural wave energy tends to be low. Banks of peat or mud, shallow lagoons or lakes with muddy beds and sandy deposits in upper estuaries are all areas of risk. Wake striking the banks can cause rapid and severe erosion, exposing the roots of vegetation and causing the banks to collapse. Wake impact and prop wash can also churn up fine bed sediments – the impact on bed and banks degrades the aquatic environment for plants and animals. In some popular boating and cruising areas, the effects of wake damage have been severe – for example, on the lower Gordon River, long stretches of bank have been washed away, with mature Huon pines and myrtles toppling into the river.

Kanter Yachts of St. Thomas, Ontario is well along on the construction of this welded aluminum cruiser for a Colorado owner. The PAINE 48 is intended for fast offshore cruising in the safety of an all metal hull. A powerful rig is balanced by a moderate draft bulbed keel for controllable speed in all conditions. The rudder is skeg supported with the propeller in an aperture where it is less likely to snag lobster pot lines or other nautical flotsam.
