Day sailing at best is an A Scow, a thirty knot monohull.
The scow shape allows heeling with a full length waterline. This cuts
down on pitching. Slices like a knive, with the edge. Undisputed king
of the daysailers, did they not cost they earth. Of course, sail
boards and multihulls have eclipsed it for top speed, but they held
the record for most of the twentieth century.
