At 60 secs a mile faster for the aloha, that is a BUNCH! 20 miles equal 20 min longer minimum!2000 miles is 2000 minutes or 33 hrs! ie 1.5-2 days longer! I like sailing, but not that well!

I'm not intending to race the boat, and while I confess I don't understand PHRF ratings, am I right in interpreting those numbers as the Bayfield 32 being faster than the 32C? They added a taller mast to the 32 in order to improve speed, called it the 32C, yet wound up with a slower boat?
