And before Sloco makes an ass of himself again, consider...

....That virtually all sailing vessels moving through the water exhibit
some level of bow lift. Attempting to draw the lines between planing
and semi-planing with strict numbers is rather silly, just like the
rather ill defined areas between displacement and semi-displacement.
One could even argue that most sailboats are "semi-planing" but
obviously some designs are noted for it as a typical sailing
characteristic. My Pearson 30 and C&C 32 really ran on thier lines and
LWL most of the time, while the 35s5 lifts and exceeds hull speed with
a wooosh that is as fun as it is common in a good breeze.
