Abstract

The control surface is an effective apparatus for improving the performance of planing boats and is considered an important element in the design of planing boats. Trim-tabs are placed at the transom to give better trim angle in order to diminish the resistance. In this paper, algorithm genetic (GA) is applied to find the trim, resistance and dearrise angle using Savitsky’s formulas. The input data are all boat dimensions, including trim-tab data. The output results are trim angle, longitudinal center of gravity (lcg) and deadrise angle (β) and minimum resistance.
