Why might polystyrene foam boards be a good choice for the boat hull?

• They are prone to cracking under pressure

• a) They are lightweight and buoyant

• The density of the boat doesn’t affect floating

What happens if the surface area of the hull is too small?

• b) The boat may capsize

• The boat will be easier to steer

• The boat will sink faster

• The boat will require less maintenance

How does the shape of the hull affect the boat's speed?

• A narrow hull is always the fastest

• A deep hull is better for speed

• b) A streamlined hull reduces drag

• A rounded hull increases stability

What is the purpose of a sail on a boat?
