Acceleration as felt on a boat is a direct function of
how rapidly she gains way.

To feel the most acceleration a sailor needs to have
maximum sail area to displacement ration.

In my vast sailing experience I can say with surety that
the most felt acceleration is that which occurs on a
sailboard in high winds when one can go from zero
to thirty or more knots in about three to five seconds.

No other sailing vessel can claim this acceleration.

Probably not Cappy, but when 6 tonne of boat starts that slide down
the face of a big ocean wave....nothing else in sailing compares to
the thrill.
