| Abstract: | Summary. Several methods of assessing the performance of ancient boats are briefly described, including the experimental building and trials of replicas. It is considered that the method of using hydrostatic curves and speed-related coefficients is often the most cost-effective and this is used to assess the logboat from Hasholme, North Humberside of c 300 BC. |
