From: "John Blackburn" <digipixs_at_erols.com> > > Does this mean there is noticeably less energy going into wave formation? Yes, but there are other things that kick in. Spray resistance can be almost as great as the wave-making resistance it replaces. Wetted surface is reduced, so skin friction is reduced as well. The latter accounts for most of the reduction in resistance when on plane.
