See Robatoy's answer to you,, he sum's it pretty nicely.


Better yet look at upscales response.

This from a guy who thinks he can 20 knots out of a 40-foot
displacement hull.


It's been done. And not even a modern boat. The venerable Cal 40,
which was introduced in the early 1960's. Sustained 15 knot runs, and
they have hit 25 knots.

Of course, this involves surfing! They are still competitive in the
TransPac.
