DISPLACEMENT HULL
A type of hull that plows through the water, displacing a weight of water equal to its own weight, even when more power is added.
A type of hull that plows through the water, displacing a weight of water equal to its own weight, even when more power is added.
Deep-hulled (usually rounded in section) boards are known as Displacement, or 'Division II' boards. While extremely wobbly underfoot, and a bit of a handful in windy conditions, they sail faster than anything else upwind in light-marginal conditions, and were thus the ultimate light-wind racing machine. However, due to being so difficult and wobbly to sail, they never really caught on other than for the committed racer, and have now largely disappeared from windsurfing. (Although a few top racers may still have one in the cupboard for races in extremely light winds!).
