Practice question
How does a 'Casco de Planeo' (Planing Hull) differ hydrodynamically from a 'Casco de Desplazamiento' (Displacement Hull)?
- A planing hull generates hydrodynamic lift at speed to ride atop the water surface, exceeding displacement hull speed limits
- A planing hull is always submerged deeper into the water as speed increases to maintain directional stability
- A displacement hull cannot carry an outboard motor, whereas a planing hull requires twin inboards
- A planing hull relies exclusively on sails, whereas a displacement hull is strictly motorized
Answer: A — A planing hull generates hydrodynamic lift at speed to ride atop the water surface, exceeding displacement hull speed limits
