Depends on the wind of course.... anywhere from 1 knot
to the hull speed.

Don, we're not limited by hull speed in this case.
Why not? Because a hull speed limitation would take
the fun out of the equation.

I can work it out using "c" as hull speed.

It would be more fun if we can go faster than c
and get younger everyday.

What I'd give to be 20 years old and on a boat again! Hull speed shall
therefore be c+!
