"Jeff" wrote Open 60's are a displacement boat? Shirley you jest! http://www.conradhumphreysracing.com...?articleid=211 Scroll down and it says *displacement* 8.5 tons. So? The "displacement" of a boat is the mass of the water it displaces at rest. A "displacement boat" or hull is one that displaces approximately the same amount of water regardless of its speed. A "planing hull" is one that when moving lifts out of the water and thus displaces less water than its mass would imply. |
