[C320-list] Used Boat Review

[Chris Burti]

Adam,
We will consistently get up around 7.5 knots, on the GPS and KM, confirmed
by calculated DR, on a 20 knot beam reach with a 135. If we get a quartering
swell it will 'surf' to 8 knots briefly. We don't fly a chute except an
asymmetric in light air, so I can't attest to Andrew's experience. However
my old racing experience from decades ago suggests to me that with her fat
@$$, she certainly ought to be capable of surfing at those speeds with an
experienced crew flying a chute in +20 knot wind. In those conditions the
theoretical hull speed formula simply does not apply anymore.
