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!
