A displacement hull is an efficient, non planing hull that moves through the water at 1.34 times the square root of the waterline length (LWL). This is not "directly" related to the designed displacement of the boat, that is, usually the weight of the boat, all additional gear, fuel, water, crew, cargo and everything else on board. Besides being efficient a displacement hull is usually more capable in rough weather and requires a relatively small inexpensive engine.

Is a flat bottom hull a displacement hull?

Yes, a flat bottom hull is a type of displacement hull. Displacement hulls are designed to move through the water by displacing a volume of water equal to their weight, and a flat bottom hull achieves this by providing a stable platform that can efficiently displace water. While flat bottom hulls are typically used in shallow water and offer good stability, they may not perform as well at higher speeds compared to other hull shapes designed for planing.

Sailboats and trawlers have what type of hull?

Mono-displacement hulls. Trawlers are often soft chined, 'S' type can often be seen on sailing vessels.The hull type depends and what charectaristics the designer wishes to incorporate. With modern materials many more types of hull design are possible.

What type of hull on a cruising sailboats and trawler have what type hull?

Cruising sailboats typically have a displacement hull, which is designed to provide stability and comfort in open water, allowing for smooth sailing even in choppy conditions. These hulls are often deeper and wider, promoting a better balance between speed and stability. In contrast, trawlers usually feature a full displacement or semi-displacement hull, designed for efficient cruising at slower speeds. These hulls maximize fuel efficiency and stability, making them ideal for long-distance travel and extended periods at sea.
