And there you have it, information
from a number of different sources and viewpoints.  That is what PUP is all
about.  I still stand by my opinion that the performance specifications
provided by the yacht broker are theoretically possible only at 3.4 knots with
no generator or stabilizers operating.  It is just simply a matter of running
the figures.

If you like the boat, buy it.

Good fortune,
