What kind of

He's asking about kayaks. As I said, there is no correlation between
overall length and waterline length in kayaks.

I responded only to your
statemenet that length HAS NO effect on speed.

I never said it had no effect on speed. I said the effect cannot
be determined by knowing overall length. If you have waterline
length and you are comparing _very_similar_ hulls, you could make
some estimation of expected speeds.
