Gee, thanks Paul! Now I'll be able to do hull design in my head on those long drives across the state.

: I always "ballpark" the displacement by assuming the boat is made
: in straight lines, diamond shaped, and symmetrical. Of course few boats
: are made this way, but I get a close enough estimate of the displacement
: with some simple math.
