The Wayfarer could move too - doing nearly 9 knots in a beam reach with two of us sailing her, with a great plume of water flying up from the rudder, and the whole boat making a buzzing noise like a wasp, is not not something I'll forget in a hurry.
I got the buzzing noise every time I got close to or passed hull speed as well (which I am fairly sure I can do with only two people aboard). I thought the swing keel was resonating as the waves were forced into the trunk, but I really have no idea. It unscrewed the nuts on my keel bracket though.
