Hull speed is dependent on the amount of water it displaces and how fast a wave can move through that much water.

‘Hull speed is dependent on the amount of water it displaces and how fast a wave can move through that much water.”

‘Hull Speed’ is determined by water-line length. Hull speed or displacement speed is the speed at which the wavelength of a vessel’s bow wave is equal to the waterline length of the vessel.
