KF, uses the following acronyms:

LCB - longitudinal center of buoyancy
CLA - center of lateral area
LCF - longitudinal center of flotation

Ross

: Am I correct in assuming that: CLB-(Center of Lateral Buoyancy) and
: LCB-(Longitudinal Center of Buoyancy} are the same thing?

: FreeShip uses LCB and Kayak Foundry uses CLB, and I don't find one in the
: other program.

: Also: CLA- (Center of lateral area) the same as FreeShip's LCF (Lateral
: Center of Flotation)?
