Its a lot simpler than that buddy. You can have as little or as much friction as you want. It doesn't really matter. Is all about the sum of the forces (F) which includes your very impressive friction component.
So i F equals 1 newton just for aguments sake. Then that will acclerate 1 kg at 1 m/ssq. The more mass an object has the slower it accelerates. Simple physics. Forget your crazy friction analysis it doesn't mean [censored] in the end.
So if your boat is heavier. Your going to have to come up with that extra power to keep up with the lighter boat coming off the start line and in general manouvers around the race course. Thats how real life works Wouter. We dont race in straight lines in some dutch test tank.
