Geoff,
I've owned Rum Runner since 1993. I admit that at times I push her to her  
limits.....and beyond. It is totally enjoyable, knowing that your boat is up 
for  the task. I surpass hull speed (theoretical that is) often. She rarely 
sails  "flat".
 
Rummy.....come on down and let's do some sailing.
