Fast Boats and the REAL WORLD
Well put, Capt. Jon.

Unless you have a truly huge mono, a planning mono like a
49er, or a
multihull, fast is not a word I would use to describe
sailing. Sailing isn't
about going fast. It is perhaps, in a very limited case,
about beating other
boats in a race. For cruising, there's no such thing as
fast. If you're in a
hurry take a car or a plane. Cruising is the antithesis of
fast.

What makes a boat "fast?"
A big motor!
