Concrete canoe? I was hoping for bed sheets and coat hanger wire!
Seriously though, did anyone see the blue tarp and PVC pipe canoe that
someone made? Broke in two about 15' off the bank...

Hi,

I'm looking for books, articles or websites that refer to canoe
design.
I'm a part of a group of students that will built a concrete canoe. More
precisely I would like to know if there is a formula that describes the
canoe theorical velocity given a canoe design (shape and rugosity of the
canoe) I have found a formula on a website which describe the theorical
velocity (W. Froude) of the canoe; V=2.26(L)^0.5 where V is the
theorical
velocity (ft/s) and L (feets) the length of the canoe, but would like to
know in which type of books (fluide mechanics or hydraulics(names of the
books-chapters)) I would find the formula mentionned above and other
formulas that would help me understand what I need to consider when
designing a canoe. I have search in mechanical fluids and hydraulics but
have not been able to find such a formula, so I was wondering if I was
looking in the rigth type of books? If you can be of any help, pointing
me
in the right direction I will really appreciate it. Thanks for your time
and
help.
