also wrong, but what the hey it is simple and complete.

Where exactly is it wrong?


among other things, there is no reason whatsoever that a boat MUST go over top
of a wave rather then through it, and a sin function does NOT explode at zero
degrees.

gene, be stupid if that's what you want. who cares.

Obviously, since you
are *so* much more intelligent that we are and we have nothing to
contribute to your most important life, it would be best if you went
back to where you were for the most of 2003... (away from here).

Lest you forget that we are dirt under your feet and nothing but an
irritant destined to spoil your cardiovascular health, please re-read:

Really?

I can think of a thousand reasons why a boat MUST go over a wave,
however I can only think of one reason why a boat MUST go through a
wave and that is if it is heavier than water and is capable of passing
through a wave.

nah.

all boats pass through waves to some greater or lesser extent. Just stand at
the bow and watch, or watch a Hobie cat go by (a displacement if there ever was
such a thing)

besides, the sine function claimed to support "theorectical hull speed" does
not hardly EXPLODE at zero degrees. In fact, it is zero at zero. In fact,
even at 2x hull speed it -- if it were accurate and it is not -- would only
account for about a 40% increase in needed hp, while doubling the speed would
required 800% more hp just to overcome drag.
