Not including surfing or being pushed by waves I rarely get over calculated hull speed on my 30-1. Sometimes do it reaching on flat water with the 195% spinnaker. In one case I did get to about 7 kts, which leaves an impressive ditch directly behind the boat. At the same time a Viking 22 slowly passed me. Afterwards the skipper claimed he was doing about 7.2, occasionally 7.4.
I have wondered from a PHRF handicapping perspective if a number needs to be factored in that covers the "ease" at which a boat can exceed hull speed. The sustained highest speeds I get to are with a deeply cut 90% jib around 22 kts true. It sheets in front of the spreaders and inside the shrouds. As long as I am not pounding into waves I can do 6.5.

I have never seen that on my (sometimes well sailed) 30! Gary
