Boats testing in indoor tank
Four singles of different brands were recently tested in an indoor tank (600m long, 16m wide, 7m depth, constant temperature +16oC) at Krylov State Research Centre in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The boats were:
· Empacher (X10 A115, 2013, 85-100kg);
· Filippi (F14, 2011, 80-95kg);
· Wintech (Medalist, 2014, 75-85kg);
· Nowing (local boat builder, 2014, 75-85kg).
The purposes of the test were to define the drag factors DF of each boat using two methods: rowing and towing, and then to find their correlation.
