Default performance question

That's not much sail. Such a boat would be very slow
except in strong winds.

wrote in message ...
If a sailboat weighed 4960 pounds, and had a sail area of 120 square feet, would
it be fast or slow? Would it be considered over-canvased, or woefully
under-canvased? Are there any boats made that roughly fit this configuration?
Are they high performance boats?
