Klaus,

Thank you! I know of the Michlet code, but have not used it yet.

There is one question I wish someone could answer:

What is the reason that different sources report totally different speed-wave drag associations for seemingly similar hulls shapes?

Compare the curves you are presenting with the curves for the kayaks

- totally different relationships.
Does the sharply cut vertical stern of beach cats make the difference?
