[edit] Squat and loss of Rudder Control
Squat is the vertical displacement of a hullform due to the pressure delta caused by the water accelerating to pass around the form. Loss of rudder control in shallow water is caused by the confused or insufficient inflow to the rudder in shallow water. Jmvolc 22:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
