    I knew I didn' just pull this out of thin air. In Skene's (eighth edition) on page one of the chapeter on planing power boats he gives a description of the mechanics involved in planing that is very close to what I say here. He also goes on to say the mathematical definition of planing is a speed/length ratio of 2 or better.

    That is purely Skene's opinion - it is not a physical or mathematical law.
