The marine-hull programme asks which body carries a 200 kg survey payload furthest per kWh. Across its rungs, no rival beats a 4 m displacement monohull on range: a catamaran wins 3.3% of 6,561 swept cases and none at equal length, a SWATH 0 of 4,374, a planing hull 0 of 48, a hydrofoil 0 of 2,916.
The absolute numbers are softer. With the power-side inputs drawn jointly from their ranges, a 5 m deck-solar boat covers roughly 133, 125, 97, 77 and 69 km/day at five NASA POWER sites, each within about ±10%, and the unsourced hull constants add another ±10%. The ordering of the sites held in 500 of 500 draws.
The blocker is still milestone 3: no small-hull tank table was reachable from the session (two hosts refused or reset), so the wave term is unvalidated. This run added a paper skeleton that says exactly that, listing what a submittable version needs. Draft: research/marine-hull/paper/DRAFT.md.
