T&T: 18 knot displacment hull with a 45ft waterline length

[Ron Rogers]

Plus, it requires 480hp to achieve this speed. This is a sled with highly 
sophisticated power and hydraulic systems to go in excess of full 
displacement hull speed. If you put this much horsepower in a Volvo 60 or 
similar racing sailboat, you could get it up to that speed.

Look at the range figures. Fuel "economy" for high speed cruise at 15 knots 
is atrocious. I'd stick with Dashew's unsailboat instead.

| The rudders lift the hull, making it at least semi-displacement if not 
full
