No. You yourself have admitted that your memory on the subject may be
suspect.
Shannon 38

Hinckley 38
Little Harbor 38
Alberg 37 Yawl
Bristol 35.5
Columbia 38
Could go on, but the thing is, none of these boats will do 11kts.either.
Lists are available at any number of phrf websites. The CR 38 may be a great
boat, but speed isn't one of it's qualities.

Well now John... since you've failed to provide a list of 38 foot vessels
that are faster... and I'm certain there are quite a few.... your point
seems contentious rather than clarifying.

I'm not certain what to make of the last part.... are you in effect
accusing me of fabrication or that the vessel is incapable of such speeds?

Well John... I'm certain of the speed since I conferred with my brother
who was on the trip with me. He's in agreement with my recollection. I can
remember it as clearly as the panicked feeling of doing that speed in waters
that shallowed to 6 feet for long stretches. The Cabo draws 5 feet.

Now I suppose I could do a search to substantiate my claims... since I've
read articles posted regarding the vessels speed .... and I might... but not
tonight. I have a report to complete prior to tomorrow and am posting here
on breaks between typing.

I have not sailed any of the vessels listed so I cannot contest your claims
as to their speed.
I assure you the Cabo38 did 11 knots sustained.
