That depends on how you define preformance.

In 30 kt winds and 20 ft seas RedCloud will out preform any boat here.

Actually, Joe, you're wrong about that. Even Sloco's Depress 30 would
outsail you in those conditions, though he'd work hard. In survival
conditions she'd be a more comfortable boat.

Try and be a little more blatant with your trolls... Will Ya!?

If they bite on this... I give up! :-)

In speed? Not even close.
In sea-keeping? probably, although hard chine hulls tend to
be a bit more noisy & bouncy than others in the same
displacement category.

The Johnson 18 has been clocked at over 20 knots and outruns
the waves (ie faster than any boat can go by surfing), but
after a few hours you start looking for a more comfy place
to relax, maybe have a sandwich. Some of us have talked
about doing longer races but I really don't want to stay in
a wetsuit for 24+ hours even if it did get me in the record
books.

Your Johnson 18 has hard Chines?

Yeah in sea keeping. Ol Swabbie thinks 20 footer in 30 knot winds is a
survival condition. I was just talking about prime sailing conditions
and great surfing above hull speed. A single reef, board down to 11
feet, nice stable comfortable wheelhouse to drink coffee and snack of
sandwiches as the auto pilot handles the wheel.

And Doug you take you hand off that tiller to eat or drink your going
over in those conditions. In 24 hours we would pass you in 48hrs we
would be coming back to rescue you.:0)

Pah!..... Overproof dosen't even take green water in 46kt winds and 20
foot seas. In those conditions we break out the cockpit table and have a
game of Blackjack-4-Drinks.

What, no playing quarters for single malt shots?

Clearly, you and Joe should have a sail-off... we can all
come along and be the judges... the test waters will be Cape
Hattaras in a moderate nor'easter (winds to greater than 30
but less than 60 knots)...

In a cesspool? With layer upon layer of fecal "mud" sticking to the hull?
