In Response To: Re: Keeping it simple and defining IT! (mike allen)

: to get closish to this figure, i would take the dist betw the 50% depth
: locations and divide by the whole waterline length. that sorta
: approximates the lateral plane coef.

maybe call this the 'rocker coefficient' so it relates to a simplification of the lateral plane coef. (which itself is just a simplification of the shape).
