Planing Surface Area Calculator

Planing Surface Area Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate hydrodynamic planing metrics, stability, and rocker impact for boards.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides hydrodynamic analysis for boards riding on water surfaces. It allows AI agents to calculate critical metrics like wetted length and planing area using get_planing_metrics. Users can evaluate stability with get_stability_assessment, analyze how tail curvature affects performance via get_rocker_impact_analysis, and determine efficiency tiers using get_lift_efficiency_ratio.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

get_stability_assessment

Evaluates how stable the board is likely to be based on the calculated planing area and speed

get_lift_efficiency_ratio

Determines the efficiency of the board by comparing lift produced to the total surface area

get_planing_metrics

Calculates the primary hydrodynamic characteristics of the board under current riding conditions

get_rocker_impact_analysis

Specifically analyzes how changes in the tail rocker affect the planing surface area

What is the planing area for a 7ft board, 20in wide, moving at 15 knots with a 3 degree angle of attack?

The calculated planing area for your board is 425.5 square inches.

Is my board stable at 25 knots with a wetted length of 4ft and width of 22in?

No, at 25 knots with that wetted length, the stability score is low, indicating a high risk of instability.

How much will increasing my rocker from 0.1 to 0.2 reduce my planing area at 12 knots?

Increasing the rocker to 0.2 will reduce the planing area by approximately 12%.

You can use the `get_planing_metrics` tool by providing the board length, width, speed, and angle of attack.
