Can somebody explain how to calculate DWL (Design Water Line)?
Is the DWL calculated with the kayak's weight, cargo, paddler ?
Perhaps the DWL is best calculated by a CAD program?
This lines position must be important when calculating for example displacement, length of waterline, beam of waterline.
