In this study, numerical simulations and model tests are performed for the hull-form development of a G/T 29ton class coastal angling fishing boat. The numerical simulations are mainly used for the design of bow hull-form and the resistance performance is improved by the adoption of high bulbous bow. And, the resistance performances of the existing boat and the designed boat are verified by the model tests. The results of the experiments and calculations show that the effective power of the designed boat is 13.6% less than that of the existing boat at design speed. Therefore, the results of this research could be used as one of the fundamental data for the design of G/T 29ton class coastal angling fishing boat.
