Among the earliest hulls were simple logs, but these were generally unstable and tended to roll over easily. Hollowing out the logs into a dugout canoe doesn't help much unless the hollow section penetrates below the log's center of buoyancy, then a load carried low in the cavity actually
118:- Hulls that ride on top of the water are called planing hulls, because when they reach speed, the hulls are substantially lifted above the water; this is known as planing (to plane). 70:. Modern ships carry tons of ballast in order to maintain their stability; even heavily laden cargo ships use ballast to optimize the distribution of weight. 58:; in most cases this can only be achieved by adding weight or ballast. The use of stones and other weights as ballast can be traced back to the 316: 203: 182: 161: 151: 140: 309: 172: 193: 340: 302: 244: 112:- Monohull boats frequently ride deeply in the water, this is known as a displacement hull. 8: 335: 249: 199: 178: 157: 136: 115: 109: 31: 290: 130: 103: 48: 51:
