That's my point....exactly..these tanks are designed to take beatings...not to sail....
I have no doubt that in a stiff breeze that boat will run hull speed. SHe just does not do it in the typical 10-15 kts.

I actuallylike those boats a lot. There is a lot of storage and it is a very sea kindly and very comfortable boat down below. I also strongly feel that for any long distance passage, it is the better choice.

Just my opinions, as someone that has weekly experience with both.
