The extent to which an asymmetric low-aspect-ratio flat ship is wetted when planing at infinite Froude number is investigated, with emphasis placed on its relationship with the shape of the hull. Two cases are considered. First the hull is assumed to have two laterally-asymmetric leading edges and, secondly, the hull is assumed to be yawed sufficiently for one of the leading edges to become a trailing edge. In the first case, the relationship involves a pair of coupled integral equations, but in the second case there is a complication by the occurrence of hull-wake interaction.
