: Someone posted a formula for estimating the rise in the sheer at the bow
: recently. I have been searching and I can not find it. Anyone remember
: that?

assuming a constant g/w angle, the basic idea is
Tan(angle)x beam/2

or if a usual 17deg gunwale angle is used, then the rise would be close to
.15 x beam

if there's twist in the gunwale, then several different things can happen which will make the above incorrect.
