Default Long Boats and Drag?


It's not so much hull resistence you need to see, but (horse)power
requirement for the speeds plotted along
the bottom of the graph. 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.
I attempted to roughly broke these down near the bottom of this page:
