holy camera angles batman! great work! very interesting for a proa obsessed! thanks for putting the GPS on the selfie stick, now I see how effortlessly it can go 10 knots! I would not have guessed it was that speed just from the video

The Madness is not my boat. but it's speed is really deceptive. it is so smooth through the water.

How big were the swells at mark 3:06? The boat almost submarined but punched through nevertheless.

Response from her captain: Waves were 3-4'....closer to 3, I'd say... At the time your on the boat you do not realize the effect of the waves or the amount of penetration by the hulls....it is a smooth and totally under control ride. Only later on reviewing the video do you see the amount the bow cuts into the waves....

@@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck I love the complete lack of nervous pitching often seen in boats going up the steep short chop. I think this would be a great minimalistic boat for fast cruising on the Adriatic sea.
