Sure, why not guys it is not a secret ahahah chill.

Thank you all for your feedback, I really appreciate it.

I do not think is it funny at all. For a canal boat you need to comply with standard requirement and produce mandatory document that are still made by Naval Architect. Then there is no doubt about the minor complexity of the hull in comparison to other type of vessel. I am not concerned about the drag. Then thanks for the second answer very useful, but if you pay attention to the previous comment you can notice that we already answer to that question

thank you so much guys this is really useful and it make sense

What does it means "about 1 in 10" in terms of angles

Thanks Patro, actually this is a really good point. Do you know what is the typical value of the angle between hull side and base plate, (basically the inclination of the hull sides when they are not vertically.

Patron, Many thanks, This values are very reasonable and near to mine. I am (cb 0.9 and cp 0.87). Basically I am creating a hull and I am not able to find information to use for double checking purpose. It comes out that despite other vessels for canal boast this information are not commonly shared as I think they are intellectual properties of the boat builders. But this very strange as the canal boat's hulls are typically standard, a part from peculiar shape characteristics at bow and stern. s

Hi all thanks for the feedback. Patron despite to all other type of huge vessels, ther is not available data that could allow me to make a judgement/comparison with my data. I know how to evaluate them, but I was wondering if some of you has an idea of typical value for canal boat hull from coefficient.

Hi all, I am trying to have an general understanding of typical value of Hull coefficient form of wide beam and narrow canal boat to check with mine. I am mainly interested in block coefficient value (cb) and Prismatic coefficient (cp). At first approch canal boat must have similar hull shape hence a specif acceptable range of this value that basically are dimensionless numbers that describe hull fineness and overall shape characteristics. Any comments is very welcome. Thanks
