Meindert, you confuse dougies so with facts.

Well, there's your mistake. A hull under planing conditions is subject
to normal drag, including air resistance. It no longer is subject to
wave-making resistance, but that doesn't mean that *all* resistance goes
away. And the function for increase is a multiple of velocity squared,
which will have an asymptote.


Ok, I'm going to argue this one only once: by mathematical definition, a
squared function is NOT asymptotic. Because, as you can read in any
mathematics book, an asymptote reaches infinity on one axis for a defined
value on the other axis, while a squared function can reach infinity on both
axes.

PS: thanks for the warning Jax but he was quicker than you thought.....:-)
