Well John... I'm certain of the speed since I conferred with my brother
who was on the trip with me. He's in agreement with my recollection. I can
remember it as clearly as the panicked feeling of doing that speed in waters
that shallowed to 6 feet for long stretches. The Cabo draws 5 feet.

Now I suppose I could do a search to substantiate my claims... since I've
read articles posted regarding the vessels speed .... and I might... but not
tonight. I have a report to complete prior to tomorrow and am posting here
on breaks between typing.

I have not sailed any of the vessels listed so I cannot contest your claims
as to their speed.
I assure you the Cabo38 did 11 knots sustained.

| Could go on, but the thing is, none of these boats will do 11kts.either.
