Bill I just delivered a Green hull/white deck, bronze ported, full electrical system, tan bark sailed M_17 to Rob and Joan in Park City Utah. Named CYGNUS. A $20,000 boat. Rob and a friend took her on a several day cruise to the Channel Islands. Rob called me to brag about the boat doing 7.8 MPH (GPS) in the fresh wind between the islands. Later that night they anchored and the winds were gusting to 35 knots, the anchor held and in the morning they had a fast sail back to the Marina, passing everyone in sight. He couldn't believe how fast and weatherly the M_17 was. So not only did he have the best looking boat at the ramp, he had the fastest. Bob (949) 489-8227 William Sylvester wrote:
Yesterday our GPS showed Endelig traveling at 6.1 MPH( our best so far) on a broad reach in about 10-14 mph winds. I was looking for the water skis. How fast will these little boats go???
