: Never seen much less paddled one but I can make a guess. I can take
: one of my hard chinned designs,add a couple of more chines,
: adjust the hull shape and keeping the stabilty the same and I
: see a dramatic decrease in drag because I lower the wetted
: surface area. That means for the same effort you go faster.
