It doesn't matter the size nor speed it is all relative. 25 on a lawnmower is fast. 50 on water is like 80. I really thought those hydrofoil sails in the last Cup were a technological wonder. They are faster than my Wellcraft and that is in perfect conditions(Wellcraft) to their hope the wind picks up a couple more knt attitude... Those craft accelerate insanely as they transition into full hydrofoil action. If all goes well anyways. I have never done much sailing. A day at the lake with a Hobie cat and very little wind has been my personal experience.
