    You 'da man, Jeff . . .

    There are exceptions to the LWL governed S/L rule, but I think the original poster just doesn't have sufficient grasp on the basics, so . . . Simply put, any hull will do just fine in a "calm sea". The whole point of yacht design is to generate shapes suited to the owner's requirements, which often contrast with "calm sea" attributes.

    Sorry for the ambiguous question. I m a naval architect student.
    For the owner requirement is to serve the speed around 20 to 30 knots and the LOA (8m) which has to make a yacht stable enought to accommodate his family. I mean for the rolling and trimming conditions.
    The yacht will be use in a shot distance for holiday. That why I was asking any hull series which may be suit to for this type of the yacht.

    Thank you for all ur help

    Are your questions related to an assignment or project which is part of your studies as a naval architecture student?

    Before tackling this sort of thing, maybe a much longer look at some of the basics of hydrodynamics, possibly some developmental history study as well, as this (your questions) would be only something I'd expect from a NA student, in their first month of study, as with very little study, obvious hull choices become very apparent.

    8 meter, 5 people? Kind of tight but for a daycruiser it will work.

    For the speed you are looking at, 20 knots is a little just over the hump for a planing boat. Kind of a hard ride for anything above "calm" seas. Evaluate a semi disp monohull instead. Hull lines and test data are vailable from SNAME or PNA.

    Did a quick check. You are not into the recommended design lane.

    The speed to length number is 20knot/26'^0.5=3.92

    With a planing hull, it is just after the hump speed. With a semi disp, you are into steep curve. Attached graph of range you need to work at and evaluate.

    I would refer you to the Glen-L marine site. Over 300 plans.
    click on outboards and look and see if any would work out for you. They post a fair amount of data for each plan on the site-- all designed by NAs

    in my (humble) opinion a deep V hull that goes from 30°/35° to 21°/24° with a little help from some (2or 3) 2 to 4 cm lift strakes will always work

    Considering the OP's requirements, a deep V (as has been previously pointed out) wouldn't be a wise choice.

    I m thinking about using series 62 planning hull with deadries angle at 12.5 degrees.
    There will be two spray rails rubbed below and parallel along the waterline from section 0 (FP) until the midship. The chine rail will be located from midship section to Ap Have u had any suggestion? Thank you
