Moving a planing hull slowly, such as with a surfboard gets the kinetic energy (water flowing) to get initial lift to get it over the "hump" to plane while paddling in.

High speed planing boat stability is one of those areas. Planing hull design is incredibly complicated and dynamic behavior is actually more difficult to predict than the dynamic behavior of ...

The J Craft 42 Torpedo is singular in the motoryacht world, with a classic look that disguises its planing hull and powerful Volvo Penta engines. We take it for a very fast spin.
