Hull Speed
The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.
5.0 kts
A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length.
With a waterline of 14.0′, the Teak Lady tops out around 5.0 knots in displacement mode — after that, the bow wave outruns the hull and resistance climbs steeply.
1.34 × √14.0′ LWL = 5.0 kts
