Water moves quite easily against itself.

 

Some argue that a slighly rough (say 1200grit wet and dry) is faster than polished as a layer of water sticks to the boat and then you have the firction of water against water instead of water vs hull......

"Unlike other sealants, HySpeedKote™ is a hydrophilic coating: This means it attracts water. It allows your boat to move through the water with less effort, regardless of composition, configuration, or size."
