Hull speed is a concept in naval architecture and boating that refers to the maximumspeed at which a displacement hull (a type of boat hull that displaces water rather than planing over it) can travel before it begins to create a wave pattern that significantly increases resistance. Hull speed is typically calculated using the formula: \\\[ \\text\{Hull Speed\} (in knots) = 1.
