Drag on a boat refers to the resistance experienced as the vessel moves through water. It is caused by the friction between the water and the hull, as well as the turbulence created in the wake. High drag can slow the boat down and require more power to maintain speed, impacting fuel efficiency and performance. Minimizing drag is essential for optimizing a boat's speed and efficiency.

NO!
What is boat drag?
The force which resists the motion of a boat when it goes through the water.

Where is bow of boat?
The bow (also known as the stem) is at the front of the boat. It is shaped as to push into the water as easily as possible to reduce drag.
Where is bow of a boat?
The bow (also known as the stem) is at the front of the boat. It is shaped as to push into the water as easily as possible to reduce drag.
Does a hydrofoil increase max speed?
Yes, a hydrofoil can increase the maximum speed of a boat by reducing drag caused by the hull interacting with the water. The hydrofoil lifts the boat out of the water, reducing drag and allowing for higher speeds to be achieved.
Suggest 2 ways to minimize the friction on the boat?
One way is to ensure that the hull is as smooth as possible to minimise drag through water- use an antifoul coating to minimise organism growth in the surface which could cause drag. Another method is to include an arrangement of ridges in the hull, these can be designed to lift the boat out of the water more at speed, reducing the contact and drag with the water.
How can the speed of a boat be increased?
Get a bigger engine. Or keep current engine and reduce drag
What is the force that pulls boats back?
The force that pulls boats back is typically drag, which is caused by resistance from the water as the boat moves through it. This drag force can slow down the boat and make it more difficult to maintain forward motion.
What style boat start with c?
Catamaran, a boat with two small hulls to have less drag in the more water, so it can go faster than a boat with one big hull in the water.
