In the past experimental data have been published by The Ship-Hydromechanics Laboratory at the Delft University of Technology on vertical motions, wave loads and added resistances in head waves of two Wigley hullforms with a midship section coefficient of 0.909 and length to breadth ratios of 10 and 5. Additionally, two other Wigley hullforms with a midship section coefficient of 0.667 and length to breadth ratios of 10 and 5 have been tested. All experimental data on these four Wigley hullforms are presented here in tables and graphs. Besides this, comprehensive comparisons are given of the experimental data which computed data, based on both the ordinary and the modified strip theory method. Relevant parts of the underlying theory have been presented too. Additionally, some comparisons of experimental data with results of three-dimensional calculations are given.
