RE: Calculating hull speed.

Folks planning on an offshore style cruising would do well to purchase Bebbe's PASSAGEMAKER book (first ed only).

THere are graphs that will allow a very fine estimation of displacement cruising speeds vs HP required.

With lighter hulls , more efficient engines ,and the use of a CPP his numbers can be bettered by a modest percent.
