And some people here claim displacement boats
don't plane. Duh! Oz was right. Some people need to sail on one of
those.
I saw no displacement hulls planing . A displacement hull, by
defination must be supported by buoyancy alone, and it must displace
water from its path rather than planing on the water's surface. If it
is planing it's either a planing hull or semi-planing hull and not a
displacement hull.

Even a planing hull becomes a displacement hull some part of the time-when
it stops...
