Wow, I got tired just watching it...


You should exercise more.

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.
