He's asking about kayaks. As I said, there is no correlation
between
overall length and waterline length in kayaks.
===============
So, you're saying a 12' kayak has a waterline length the same as
a 16' kayak?



I responded only to your
statemenet that length HAS NO effect on speed.

I never said it had no effect on speed. I said the effect
cannot
be determined by knowing overall length. If you have waterline
length and you are comparing _very_similar_ hulls, you could
make
some estimation of expected speeds.

I saw a statement that said length has NO bearing on speed. I
still see that as incorrect.
