The waterline length refers to the part of the kayak hull that meets the water’s surface. If the kayak has a long sloping bow and/or stern, its waterline length will be shorter than its overall length. Waterline length is a critical element in establishing the maximum speed of the kayak. The greater the waterline length, the greater its potential for a top-end speed.Kayaks are displacement hulls—that is, they move through the water rather than skim across its surface as a planing boat does. The top speed of a displacement hull is determined by the waves it creates. At maximum speed, the hull creates a wave at the bow and at the stern with a trough in the middle. Since a wave of a given distance between crests travels at a particular speed, the hull can only be as fast as the wave it creates, known as the wave of translation. Increases in speed are possible but only with dramatic increases in the energy applied to propelling the hull forward.Waterline beam: This refers to the maximum width of the hull area that meets the water’s surface. Since most kayaks have rounded or sloped sides, the waterline beam is usually less than the overall maximum beam. The waterline beam also has an impact on the efficiency in converting effort into speed. Narrower beamed boats have less distance to push the water aside and therefore create less resistance to forward motion.The beam also has an impact on stability: The wider the boat, the more stable it will feel when you’re sitting with the kayak on an even keel.Draft: The vertical distance between the surface of the water and the deepest part of the hull.Prismatic Coefficient: The prism refers to a shape that has a cross-section identical to the widest part of the immersed hull and a length equal to the kayak’s waterline length. The prismatic coefficient, or PC, is the ratio of the displacement of the kayak to the volume of the prism. A kayak that displaces 45% of the volume of the prism has a PC of 0.45. The PC is useful as a measurement of how fine or full the ends of the kayak are.A kayak with a high PC has more volume in its ends. This increases the wetted surface, creating more drag from friction between the hull and the water. This is a significant factor in the efficiency of the hull at low speeds. At high speeds, the full ends create a long wave of translation, so a kayak with a higher PC has a potential for a higher top speed (for the application of a given amount of effort).

Wireless access points (APs) translate the hardwired electronic signals in the network to radio signals that are sent across the air. Plugging an access point into the existing network and a wireless interface card
directly in the PC can extend networks quickly and easily. With very little configuration, one is able to set up a wireless network, and roam anywhere within a 300 foot region without the traditional network ethernet.Unfortunately, this also makes the same network available to any other PC that is also equipped with a wireless network card. Without proper security precautions, intruders can freely access your network. While IT managers would never think of installing an Ethernet drop outside the front door of the building,unprotected wireless access is virtually the same approach, with two significant differences. With a small amplifier and antenna, a hacker can sit undetected in a more remote location than the front door of the building, and hackers are posting unsecured networks and their positions on the Internet for others to access.Unprotected wireless networks essentially “open the front door” of your network to intruders that can access shared drives and data, sniff every packet on your network, read emails, access web sites, and capture data for further analysis, and take as long as they need to crack the rest of your system. Three real-world experiences illustrate the reality of WLAN vulnerabilities:
• At a seminar on WLAN security, an instructor showed the entire class how to find the open wireless LAN
access points with freeware available on the Web. Within 15 minutes, students were able to sniff and
record all of the network traffic and monitor Web pages and email packets sent to the network.
• An IT consultant, scheduled to install new software on a customer’s IT servers over the weekend, was able to begin the installation process and shut down the servers from the parking lot, while waiting forthe customer to arrive, through the company’s wireless network. While this was an authorized user, an unauthorized intruder could have done the same thing.
• The well publicized network intrusion at a major commercial retail center earlier this year where an intruder captured credit card numbers in the parking lot using tools available over the Internet.Capturing unsecured data anywhere in the range of a wireless LAN is very easy. The issue of security isn’t limited to the standard wireless range of 300 feet indoors and 1000 ft. outdoors. Wireless hackers with antennas and power amplifiers can access your network completely out of sight, and usually without your knowledge. While the advantages of wireless are tremendous, the security issues are real. Without physical security that can be used to protect wired networks, wireless users need to protect their networks with other tools that can provide the same level of security as wired networks. These solutions can be layered to provide the level of security required for any user or organization.
