Default "Hull speed" is voodoo science

For an average
displacement hull the tradional equation works fairly well at
identifying the approximate crossover point, where considerable extra
power is required to go any faster.


bull. most every recreational sailboat made in the last 40 years regularly and
rather easily exceeds the speed predicted by "the tradional equation".
