In Response To: Re: Design Water Line (Nick Schade)

Nick, as you may know Ross Leidy's Kayak Foundry does a nice job of calculating KAPER drag predictions for any given design. Leidy says that when comparing kayaks it's important that the DWL be adjusted so that the design displacement matches the target displacement, ie that both kayaks are designed to carry the very same displacement for purposes of comparing drag. Why is that?
