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.

Yeah, love the shop - reminds me of my grandfather's. I want to get at least mostly retired so I can have time to build a wooden boat - can't decide between a wood kayak, row boat or a Pacific dory. Probably the kayak or row boat and use the V-20 in the ocean.
The dory is tempting though - I've watched them launching and recovering on the beach and it's pretty cool. Even been out a couple of times - really cool.

If any of ya'll are evre near Beaufort, NC I higkly recomend going by the Wooden Boat Museum, its open to the general public(free) and they have a separate shop on the water front that you can go watch them work on a boat.
