Would it matter what angle a boat hit a wave? Instead of submarining,slaping it or hitting it mid section?
Bow acceleration can produce between 3000- 5000 lbs per square foot at 60 mph . If the boat was built light [ no full length stringers to the bow ] , it may snap the nose off .Lots of scenarios . Here's a drawing showing the distribution of force on a typical V hull .Just my 0.02 cents . http://www3.telus.net/spectrasonly/load%20distr.jpg |

I am guilty of doing this from time to time but no more I guess. |
