andreas, you are indeed a fraud, as you so convincingly show below.

The speed is asymptotic simply because it cannot reach infinity and the
function that gives the speed in dependence of the power is assumed to
be monotonously increasing. We all know about c, the speed of light,
do we? I have never said that the hull speed would be that upper limit.

I made my point because the observation ``more power = more speed''
by Terry Spragg does not tell much as long as we do not know whether it
is asymptotic and, if yes, where the limit is. Or in other words: The
statement ``more power = more speed'' does not contradict the popular
(but incorrect) belief that the hull speed could be that limit.

Andreas.
