Darryl can't claim those are used in my everyday life… but my father law is a senior design engineer working on the next generation Space Craft to replace the Shuttle program. My wife works at United Space Alliance in the ground support design engineering group out at Kennedy Space Center. So I would hope I could find someone to help me understand any area that I might be lacking…LOL…

I do have a working knowledge of Block Coefficients, Prismatic Coefficients, Water plane Coefficient (coefficient of fineness) and curve of areas. How much farther does your method take it beyond the curve of areas? If I am following you correctly you are taking about minimizing eddy making resistance at the transom.

I have often heard that the wise surround themselves with great minds….I try to work in that direction… thank you for all your help Darryl…

Best Regards,
Bob
