Hi,

Can somebody tell what is the difference between the apparent length and
the length of the hull. From what I understand depending on the longitudinal
shape of the hull the apparent length can be change. Is the apparent length
the girth of the hull? Can someone give me some examples. Thanks for your
help.

Pablo,
