Ritalin Poster Boy
To put it into perspective my buddy has a 35' Everglades with a pair of big a$$ outboards.
We go from Newport to Block Island in about a half hour (21 miles) dock to dock with a top speed of 50. Patriot would have passed us.
The current record for speed under sail is 65 knots in a trench with consistent wind. The 50kt barrier was broken only 11 years ago by a kiteboard. The fact that the AC boats in the 50's is amazing.
While that's pretty cool what I am really interested in are the tenders and support boats that are designed to keep up.
