I have some basic resistance vs speed values for my hull if anyone is interested. Things to note though:
1. One hull only.
2. The hull is upright. (No heel)
3. There is no sinkage or trim. (It is fixed in space at the design waterline and the waves rise and fall around it.)
- Hydrostatic nor hydrodynamic effects are accounted for to support the hull
4. There is no leeway angle.
5. Speed is in knots.
6. Resistance is in Newtons. (divide by 9.81 to give kilograms)
7. The results are not validated. They're just for fun.
8. It was done in Michlet so all its standard restrictions apply

I used FreeShip to do all the hardwork of creating the Michlet "in.mlt" file. Was done in about 1.5-2hours including reading the manuals to figure out how they both work. Also got a couple of wave plots saved and opened in FreeShip, but was only playing with these and hence only did them at lower speeds.
