The top speed doesn't impress me that much. My rather tame by
comparison 36' cruising cat is claimed to top out at 17, though I've
never been above 13.5 knots. More impressive was the 12 to 14 upwind
on the sea trials. Booby, of course, would call this a "downwind barge."

I couldn't open that page. I can only guess.

Care to elaborate for me?


The top of the curve ended at 20+ kts, I believe they also mentioned that
they topped at 22 kts. during the sea trials. Wonder what they want for the
thing? Perry did a review of the thing a while back in "Sailing" IIRC, don't
recall what the price was. $750k?

Pretty impressive. Did you see the polars on the last page of the spec
sheet?
