No, not true at all. It is true for all planing hulls however.

Indeed, one's boat has to be moving fast enough for its bow to be out of
the water, in a plane. My canoe doesn't pound.

That's because you were only hitting every 4th or 5th wave.

Wouldn't that depend upon the distance between wave tops? In hard chop,
they are very close together.

One and a half to two foot waves are not the same as a hard chop.

There hasn't been a wave that big on the Chesapeake in about 10 days
unless you count tug boat wakes.

I was doing 20 kts this morning in an 11 ft dinghy.

I think the forward firing anti matter wave inhibitor helps too..

Your error is in assuming that the weather and wave patterns on the bay
are the same over the entire area. Doing 20 knots down the Miles River
is no great feat.

We were outside, out by fishers, and out to the race that day...

Ah, yes, of course.
