Our old 29-footer would sail at 5.5 to 6.0 knots with about 12 knots of wind, on the ocean. If the wind increased I might see the occasional 6.5 knots. Therefore I hardly think that an M23 can reach 8 knots, unless the situation is exceptional: with spinnaker; going downwind; optimum wind strength; relatively flat seas....

Josh,
I’m in White Bear Lake and just purchased an M23. Just got the mast up yesterday and washed the sails today. Hopefully, I’ll get her launched in the next week or so.
Thanks,
Rob

Just curious what the preferred grill mount is for the m23 if you have the little round magma one. I see Dauntless had it drop out and down just a hair off the stern on starboard side. (Can see on you tube under dauntless)
Can an m23 do 8 knots ... In shore costal on lake Minnetonka.... I just restored one but have never sailer her! I think according to Bones it will do about 6.5. Any other m23 owners have any thought to add here?
Ps how many m23 owners are in Minnesota ... Are there more than two.?.?
Fair and fresh winds to all of you.
