What is a type of displacement hull?
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.
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 is the name of a type of buoyancy chamber fitted to a jet ski or the hull of a canoe?
correct answer is sponson However a canoe is actually a displacement hull and usually dose not have a sponson. The answer is "Sponson" I am not 100% certain but a 'flotation tank' comes to mind.
ABS Class notation Circle M what does it mean?
M - This symbol signifies that the anchor, chains or wire rope, which have been specified by the Owner for position mooring, have been tested in accordance with the specifications of the Owner and in the presence of a Surveyor. It is applicable to ship type displacement hull designed for offshore operation as well as to multiple hull design. The symbol M is placed after the classification notation.
What type if hull do Most Cruising sailboats and trawlers have what type of hull?
Round Bottom hull
Is barge a type of boat?
Yes, it is

Some boats have special fins that are designed to lift the boat's hull clear of the water at high speeds What is this type of fin called?
a hydrofoil
What is the maximum speed of a sailboat?
Maximum Speed of a Single-Hull Displacement Boat Hull Speed = 1.34 x the square root of the LWL LWL: length of the hull at the waterline. Please note: this is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement monohull and does not take into account the following criteria: 1. Hull Design - each hull's contours will effect the laminar flow, that is how smoothly and effortlessly the water flows over it. Every design has a certain co-efficient of drag, and depending on the hull, more or less inherent and induced drag. 2. Displacement - just like with a car, the lighter you make a boat, the faster you can make it go. 3. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio - this is a bit like the power/weight ratio in a car. Since the sails are pushing the boat through the water, the heavier the boat, the larger the sails will have to be in order to take maximum advantage of the hull speed formula. If two vessels have the same hull design and the same sail area, the one with the lower displacement will be the faster vessel. 4. Type of Keel - there are two main types of keels, full and fin. Full means that the keel runs the length of the underside of the hull and fin is just what it sounds like - a fin placed roughly amidships. Depending on the weight and shape of the keel the boat will move faster or slower. If you want to know the hull speed of a particular make and model of boat, see if you can find a polar diagram. Polar diagrams, or plots show the speed of the hull at various points of sail and with various wind velocities.
Cruising sailboats and trawlers have what type of hull?
Mono Hull
What type of hull is?
A sailboat without a sail is but a hull of itself.
