A STRAKE IS A STEP THAT RUNS
PARALEL TO THE KEEL, WHICH BREAKS
THE SURFACE TENSION OF THE WATER
FLOWING OVER IT. AT SUFFICENT
SPEED, THIS BREAK CHANGES THE
RUNNING SURFACE ALLOWING THE
HULL TO RELEASE AND RIDE UP TO THE
LEVEL OF THE STRAKE.
36
Hull Technology
A STEP ACTS AS A HORIZONTALLY
POSITIONED STRAKE, WHICH BREAKS
THE SURFACE TENSION OF THE WATER
FLOWING OVER IT.
THIS BREAK ALLOWS THE BOAT TO
MAINTAIN MINIMUM SURFACE ADHESION
WHILE MAINTAING THE PROPER ANGLE
OF ATTACK AND DRIVE THRUST ANGLE.
A STRAKE IS A STEP THAT RUNS
PARALELL TO THE KEEL, WHICH
BREAKS THE SURFACE TENSION OF THE
WATER FLOWING OVER IT. AT
SUFFICENT SPEED, THIS BREAK
CHANGES THE RUNNING SURFACE
ALLOWING THE HULL TO RELEASE AND
RIDE UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE STRAKE.
PAD KEEL
PAD KEEL
A PAD KEEL IS A WIDE STRAKE,
THAT PROVIDES THE SAME BREAK
IN PRESSURE AND ADHESION AS
TRADITIONAL STRAKES.
THE TRADITIONAL V-BOTTOM
MAINTAINS THE SAME “HIGH” DEAD
RISE ANGLE FROM THE STRAKE TO
THE KEEL. THE PAD KEEL IS A 12”-
15” “PLATFORM” AT A LOWER DEAD
RISE ANGLE THAN THE HULL.
THE PAD KEEL PROVIDES THE
ULTIMATE RUNNING SURFACE FOR
THE KEEL AT EXTREEM SPEEDS,
PROVIDING INCREASED STABILITY
AND A REDUCED TENDANCY TO
“CHINE WALK”.
