Wow, I got tired just watching it... And some people here claim displacement boats
don't plane. Duh! Oz was right. Some people need to sail on one of those.

Cheers,

You should exercise more.

I saw no displacement hulls planing . A displacement hull, by
defination must be supported by buoyancy alone, and it must displace
water from its path rather than planing on the water's surface. If it
is planing it's either a planing hull or semi-planing hull and not a
displacement hull.

Open 60's are a displacement boat? Shirley you jest!

Even a planing hull becomes a displacement hull some part of the time-when
it stops...

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.

Now *that* was funny

It doesn't necessarily have to "lift out of the water" just be
supported (at least partially) by the force of the water flowing under
the hull. Although with some boats, the lift is pretty amazing and has
to be seen/felt to be believed.

True. In fact, the above statement is one of the most convincing that
"Ellen" is really the Crapton.

Saying that a spec of stated displacement was an indicator that the
boat in question is a "displacement hull."
