It takes a lot of power to drag that much weight up on tp of the water.

Is 30 knots fast for a boat. Also the 15 foot IFly is now the fastest foiler at 16 feet or under and may challenge the Phantom for outright fastest boat under 20 feet. The planing hulls in racing sailboats are a key reason for their incredible speeds. Most boats dont go quite that fast.

Average and Top Boat Speeds for a Sailboat Cruiser and Pontoon Average Boat Speed of a Sailboat. Sailings world speed records are set on a stretch of water in France with a long sandy spoils beach that keeps wave action down in strong winds. If you are on a cruiser it will feel ok fast but you will probably want more once you get a hang of it.

There is also the Nacra 17 Olympic foiling cat but has yet to break 30 knots. When you start its just like trying to drag an anchor behind the boat. It is important to know the wind speed warnings and to understand what they mean for you as a pleasure boat operator.

The fastest boat speed record ever was 3176 MPH and was achieved by a man named Ken Warby who was using a speedboat he named the Spirit of Australia. For a number of years. A typical go-fast is laid-up using a combination of fibreglass kevlar and carbon fibre using a deep V style offshore racing hull ranging from 61 to 152 metres 20 to 50 ft long narrow in beam and equipped with two or more powerful engines often totalling more than 750 kilowatts 1000 hpThe boats can typically travel at speeds over 80 knots 150 kmh.

However using a planing hull will make it ride like the wind at unbelievable speeds between 35-58mph or 30-50 knots or 55-92kmh. The record is set at 6545 knots 75 mph or 121 kmh. The worlds fastest sailing catamaran formerly known as Orange and more recently Gitana 13 has been converted into a fast cruiser that is still capable of 30 knots under sail.

Max Speed in knots 14 x the square root of the waterline length of boat in feet. Therefore a ship traveling at 15 knots could go 15 nautical miles per hour. While modern replicas offer us good evidence for the top speeds of Viking longships it remains a debatable subject.
