: I do question, whether using the lower
: displacement numbers is correct, since the drag numbers should be higher
: for the Night Heron given it's shorter overall water length.

I'm still not sure why you expect the NH figures to be higher. What are the figures that you think are suspect? What exactly is the change that takes place when you change the displacement?
