.... But is it "powered up"?

No it isn't. She's not near her hull speed (look at the stern) and the
wind is light. I'll be she'd be closer to hull speed when heeld to 25-30.

And I bet she's going appreciably faster, and a much higher percentage
of her hull speed, than you think.

As for light wind, this is a boat of approx 130' LOA. What looks like
ripples on the water around her is a substantial chop.

Secondly, when I look at the stern and just aft of the stern, I see a
substantial wave train. With a 90 foot waterline, she could be moving at
10+ knots making such waves.

BTW this boat is one of those type specifically designed to increase the
waterline when heeled. But not as extreme a type as this one

BTW this second pic has the grand daddy heavyweight champ of all stern
waves... boat is heeled a good bit... about time to take in that topsail
I'd think
