Joe, your boat is not faster than mine. There are certain situations
where a boat like yours would be faster, but generally a 35s5 will be
faster than your boat. In 15 knots I walk away from a Tayana 48 and
that's faster than your boat.
On the Long Island Sound your boat would require it's engine more often
than not, while the 35s5 can almost always sail. Sloco's Express 30
would also leave your boat far behind as would Jeff's PDQ.
Joe, you have a beautiful boat. At sea, or in strong winds she is in
her element. But for much of the coastal and protected waterways most
people sail, she's a slow boat under sail. That's why she has the big
motor. She needs it.
