Hydrostatics Curve Approach as a Design Development of Fishing Canoe With Bilge Keel to Improve Rolling Period

Canoes are currently starting to be in demand among the public, some of activities that can carried out using canoes include fishing, traveling or water sports. still great compared other types boats, because very stable calm water. Its stability is reason why this type boat usually chosen as for beginners and family outings. Unfortunately canoe less challenging waters. When weather waters reliable, however when it turns bad with choppy high winds a skilled oarsman needed keep afloat. The downside having good primary but poor secondary stability. This means only If wind blows hard creates water, then will lose rolling motion which cause accidents its users. Therefore I try use flat bottom design by adding bilge keel hull hopes tried compare roll period regular one used 1 pair keels, 6.25 cm wide, 0.8 thick 30 degrees angled. Variations length 0.875, 1.05 1.225 m. Mounted middle ship, not too forward backwards.
