Default FASTER than Fast...the 35s5!

Oh good grief! Why would anybody worry about a knot or three of speed let alone
race a sail boat? If one needs to go a tad faster start the motor - and heat
some water for a shower in the bargain. Nostalgia? OK, but a gawdam submarine
can do over 40 kts submerged! So what's the big deal about some frog boat doing
less than a quarter of that under optimum conditions? Wanna race? What kind of
lawn mower? We're talking similar speeds and my Troybuilt is faster than your
Sears.
