dougies, what word didn't you understand? I mean in addition to asymptote?

I understand every word, Jaxxie. What I don't understand is why you
contradict yourself. Does the power/speed curve for boats have an
asymptote or doesn't it?





More power = more speed.

This has an asymptotical limit, though.

And you're saying that the power curve of a boat "at or near hull speed"
does not have an asymptote?
