Sorry, the net is on the blink here.
I think that as wee set weight out to the side for righting moment we push the wave piercing hull further into the water and create more stress.
The Tiger Shark as I have it leaves almost no hull in the water once up to about 12 knots and from then if I can keep the hull down it just keeps accelerating and planing higher and creating less drag.
