What is the usual speed of the CD 25 ?

Hull speed is about 5.6 kts which seems to be a preety good number. I can get up to hull speed with 12 kts of wind. I have seen as high as 6.5 kts going downwind in 20+ kts for 10 or 20 minutes. It depends on skipper skill, wind conditions, waves, and direction relative to the wind.
Hope this is usefull
