A: Are longer kayaks faster than shorter ones? The classic maximum speed of a displacement vessel is associated with a Froude Number [velocity / sqrt(gLWL) ] = 0.4. But if you want velocity in knots and measure water line length in feet (with acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²) then Vmax = 0.4 sqrt(32.2) 3600 sec/hour / 6076 ft/naut... (more) |
