heavy displacement

Most ferrocement hulls are designed as heavy displacement.

Initially designs were heavy displacement, with a fine, often V shaped stern as well as a fine bow.

The company also still makes electric motors, mainly used to "repower" sailboats and heavy displacement powerboats as a replacement for diesel engines.

An example would be a light displacement, planing hull verses a heavy displacement non-planing hull.

Yacht manufacturers should be more concerned with sailing excitement, performance and safety than providing standard internal lay-outs; acres of teak are lavished on hulls which have insufficient ballast, heavy displacement and low 'sail areas.

In short-ended craft with full body, heavy displacement and moderate ballast ratio, it is difficult to set enough sail area in the bermudian rig without a mast of excessive height and a center of effort (CE) too high for the limited stability the hull.
