OTOH that boat is not over running the wave crests. You can see quite
clearly when a wave rolls under the bow; in the previous video you can
see quite clearly that the Benny was running faster than the waves.

True, I forgot about that.

How much faster do you think the waves are going in the 2nd (condo-
maran) video?

Dunno but it is obviously more exposed just looking at the pictures
even before looking up the answer that one is in the Gulf of Lyon amd
the other the Isselmeer. Your best bet at guessing the wave speed is
to guess the wavelength/period and work it out but I have yet to see
two waves the same on the sea.
I wonder why he is using his foot on the tiller (benny) but I like his
style and is keeping it remarkably steady.
