Neals average speed claim, well above is theoretical hull speed seems
questionable. Jeff's speed as quoted appears understated.
There is no mistaking the specs on the Coronado. Under a steady hand in
aggresive conditions, she remains a slow cruiser. Her ratings reflect that.
Compare her specs to an older Catalina 27 TR and she's barely got a chance.
Against my C&C 32...bwaahahaa! I could sail with the main down and he wouldn't
have a chance.
Jeff's big multi? C'mon neal. You're just being foolish. That thing may be
faster on the back of a truck.

Real life sailing is far different than the imaginary sailing
you indulge in. It is a well-known fact that small boats
can make very impressive runs given the right conditions.

On one trip up the East Coast to Beaufort N.C. from
Florida my boat covered 210 miles over the ground in
a 24 hour period.

Performance is in the facts not the figures on paper.
