    This thesis with proposed regression formulations in clear and with their coefficients (which is rare) can be helpful :" Re-evaluation of resistance prediction for high-speed round bilge hull forms" by Jae Won, Florida institute of technology , based on old to recent experiments :
    • NPL (1969)

    • S-NPL (1994)

    • SKLAD (1972-1980) and

    • AMERC (1984-2000)
    Not yet used myself but seems very good and well documented at first glance :

    Here are some Resistance and Power curves for different methods I got using Maxsurf.
    Holtrop and Fung give similar results. I am planning to use these results as a starting point.
    Bare Hull Resistance in calm water at 8 knots = 3.1 kilo Newtons
    Power in calm water at 8 knots (50% efficiency) = 26 kilo Watts

    Have you decided not to read the Bailey series; which is more appropriate?

    They give the same result for 8 knots (NPL Bailey and Holtrop)! I am really impressed with the outcome.
