About this document

Spray Rails Impact on Planing Hull Resistance by Marcelo De Oliveira Predes is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes research on the effect of spray rails on the resistance of five different planing hull forms. Wooden scale models of the hulls were tested with and without spray rails. The addition of spray rails decreased resistance for the single chine and deep-V hulls by up to 25% at higher speeds, but had little effect or increased resistance for the double chine hulls with wide transoms. Overall, spray rails were found to be most beneficial for reducing resistance at higher speeds on narrow-tr
