Re: [Electric Boats] displacement & semi-displacement hull performance

 

In response to the question about semi-displacement hulls you may be interested in the following report on the Wye Island Electric Boat Marathon. They vary from displacement to planing. See https://www.proptalk.com/2017-wye-island-challenge-electric-boat-marathon/

In terms of electric propulsion, I have always thought (at least in terms of physics) that a full displacement hull would take a very large increase in power to go beyond theoretical hull speed.  But I might be wrong there, no experience.

But what about a semi-displacement hull?  Anyone with experience with that? Do you go thru a big power range to get onto a plane then taper off, but still rather high power to stay on plane?

Not really interested the practical, just curious.
