Turning Characteristics and Capabilities of High-Speed Monohulls

This paper examines various aspects of the turning capabilities and characteristics of high speed monohull craft with regard to typical behavior and what type of maneuvering performance should be achievable. The dynamics, characteristics, and relationships of a hard chine monohull in a high speed turn are investigated and summarized.

The execution of high speed turns on hard chine monohulls can sometimes lead to unexpected

responses. This paper identifies several of the typical symptoms. The severity of these events will be discussed, and typical causes are identified. Notional maneuvering criteria are also proposed.
