|
Retractable hull appendages or those set outside
of the symmetry plane are measured separately from the
hull measurements
to generate an OFF file.

Centerboard |
|
|
|
Centerboard measurements include height
of the exposed part of the centerboard when lowered (ECM),
weight of the centerboard (WCBA) and vertical
distance between centerboard centre of gravity positions
when
fully raised and when fully lowered (CBDA).
Three chords are measured at three heights with the centerboard
lowered: at the top of centerboard and at heights of 0.50
and 0.85 of ECM. The centerboard can be
retractable form the hull or from a fixed keel. |

Twin rudders |
|
|
|
Twin rudder measurements include
longitudinal distance from the stem (RCG), the rudder
span (RSP), the transverse distance from centerline
(RY) and the angle of the rudder axis measured to
the vertical (RAN). Chord and thickness are
measured at the root and at the tip profiles which completes
the rudder
geometry.
Twin rudder measurements can also be applied for a single
transom-hung rudder on centerline with RY
and RAN measurements set to 0. |

Bilgeboard |
|
|
|
Bilgeboard measurements are similar to
those of twin rudders. BX and BY
measurements define longitudinal and transverse position of
the bilgeboard leading edge, while span (BS)
and chord and thickness (BC and BT)
are giving the main bilgeboard dimensions. Angle of the
bilgeboard axis to the vertical is recorded as BA,
while BF is the percentage of the bilgeboard
remaining outside of the hull when the bilgeboard is fully
raised.
Bilgeboard measurements can also be applied for a single
bilgeboard on centerline with BY
and BY measurements set to 0. |

Dynamic Stability System (DSS) |
|
|
|
The Dynamic Stability System is a
horizontal foil that can be extended from the hull with the purpose of
increasing stability.
DSS measurements include: a span of the extended wing measured
along any curvature (DSS), a maximum chord and thickness (DSC
and DST) as well as the angle of the wing to the
horizontal axis DSA and distance from the root
chord to the centerline of the boat. |
