In my case the speed of the ram is more important than the thrust.
My boat is a 26' sharpie cat ketch, about 4500lb. My TP10 handles that
easily on the wind but it is a bit too slow downwind if the sea state
is up. I wish I had bought the TP20....


It doesn't help that much. The computers are a little slow, and can't
anticipate, so we sometimes wind up doing ever-widening "S"s when we
have quartering waves.
