I couldn't open that page. I can only guess.
Care to elaborate for me? "John Cairns" wrote "Bart Senior" .@. wrote http://www.morrellimelvin.com/sailbo...t48_page2.html Pretty impressive. Did you see the polars on the last page of the spec sheet? John Cairns |

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?

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." John Cairns wrote: "Bart Senior" .@. wrote in message news

Top speed is fun in protected waters. I'll have to
call Peter Johnstone and ask him about the boat. I'll try to remember to ask about price also. I think your estimate is probably accurate. The Gunboats tend to sell for a premium compared to similar sized boats. I wonder how it handles on the ocean--that is the real test. What is the bridge deck clearance? What is the practical speed limit in real world conditions? Most multihulls have probelms there. Tell us more about sailing your boat in ocean conditions Jeff. What conditions do you start to throttle back? "Jeff" wrote The top speed doesn't impress me that much.

Peter tells me GB-48 Cream is $1.37 million tricked
as it is. A million isn't what it used to be. "John Cairns" wrote The top of the curve ended at 20+ kts, I believe they also mentioned that they topped at 22 kts. during the sea trials.
