Default Nice Steel Hull

OTOH that boat is not over running the wave crests. You can see quite
clearly when a wave rolls under the bow; in the previous video you can
see quite clearly that the Benny was running faster than the waves.

True, I forgot about that.

How much faster do you think the waves are going in the 2nd (condo-
maran) video?
