I seem to be able to paddle the petrel faster than the great auk is that logical.
As Allan noticed, the Petrel has less wetted surface area, so even through it has a shorter waterline, it may have less drag at certain speeds. As a result it will be easier to paddle, and faster for a given power level.
Because of its shorter waterline, as the speed increases, the drag will rise faster for the Petrel than it does for the Great Auk and at some point the drag curves may cross.
