    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
    | displacement. You can't beat physics!
