Calculation method
Calculation method
Ideal horizontal bow swing radius (m)
Horizontal projection=sqrt(rode²-depth²); farthest radius=projection+boat extension.
Ideal furthest-point swing radius (m)
Horizontal projection=sqrt(rode²-depth²); farthest radius=projection+boat extension.
Ideal swing circle area (m²)
Horizontal projection=sqrt(rode²-depth²); farthest radius=projection+boat extension.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Straight taut rode, static geometry only; no catenary, drag, tides or collision clearance guarantee. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Straight taut rode, static geometry only; no catenary, drag, tides or collision clearance guarantee.
