Shamrock V, with about 100 ft waterline won't go any faster than that.

Love it! Cheap, small, fun!! The sort of boat you can take anywhere and sail anytime on any pocket hadkerchief lake or expansive harbour. Best sort of boat really I think, even though I go green with temporary envy when I look at Waonie!
On the other hand I couldn't afford to keep her in the water, and I took my Mack on a local lake for an hour or two today. And I will tomorrow.
:D :D
