Conclusion: I would like one!
Gena - it is 110 nautical miles, so
@ 50 knots = 2 hours.
@ 65 knots = 1 hour, 41 minutes.
But at what fuel consumption and cost?! :-O

Super interesting shot Gena, thank you.
I would very much like to see her entire specification, not least the hull. Does anybody know any more details please?
