Drawing a boats fuselage

[rowen211]

I think u mean hull

[Mattsana]

You mean keel not fuselage, fuselage are for airplanes :P

@Mattsana omg thats some funny shit i was thinking the same thing, Actually is "HULL" the keel is the pointie surface down the center it affects the boats tracking....lol but i know where you were headed with the correction....still laughin

[mrpwnedish]

@jeramieinsaneimagez isnt the keel the backbone of the ship...?

[jeramieinsaneimagez]

@mrpwnedish , that wound be correct... the strip under the boat where the two halves of the bottom meet. -Jer

[mrpwnedish]

@jeramieinsaneimagez i know....the "backbone" is the part of something giving it strength and making it rigid... without a keel a ship would bend and flex...

[Lizzzter]

@mrpwnedish Nope, all yachts, ships, kayaks or other floating vessels are structurally carried by the hull itself. You can take the keel of more or less any yacht and it will still be as inflexible as before. The structural integrity properties are mainly given by the "surface moment of intertia" a geometrical entity given by the projected cross sectional area.

[Lizzzter]

@Lizzzter Therefore it is quite impressive that 500 000 ton tankers last in 10m Hs waves with a hull thickness of just around 25mm. If you scale a 300m vessel to one meter the hull thickness would just be around 0.08mm, less than the thickness of most print-paper.

PS. loads of info is available on wikipedia for the interrested, however it is quite hard to penetrate. Also recommended: "Principles of Naval Architecture" (just over ten volumes ;)
