Hullspeed Slender Body Geometry

Besides Hullspeed's regression methods like Holtrop, Savitsky, Delft et al, there is also an analytical method available for ships with a high L/B ratio to determine wave resistance. In v12, you have more control over the geometry that is used to calculate the wave resistance of slender vessels.
