Then you can judge how fast the boat can go given your individual power ability. Over distance the "average" paddler can maintian 1/20 (0.05) horsepower. However, calculated hull resistance is only a base measure. On top of that you have to overcome wind and waves when they are against you, or add them to your effort when they are with you.
