How Fast Do Racing Sailboats Go? - Boating Geeks
https://boatinggeeks.com/how-fast-do-racing-sailboats-go/
Most sailboats go as fast as 7 knots (8mph). Racing sailboats can easily go 15 to 20 knots (17 to 23 mph). The record holders go much faster such as Paul Larsen’s Vestas Sailrocket 2, which reached a speed of 65.45 knots (75.32 mph or 121.22 km/h). The speed of sailboats greatly varies. Many factors make up the average speed and top speed.

This made the sport reserved for only the very wealthy, or operators that were funded by wealthy powerboat enthusiasts. Thanks to advances in technology, many modern-day “go-fast” speed boats available to the public can now travel at speeds of 70-80+ MPH.
Boat Speed Calculator

Speed = square root of (horsepower/displacement) X Crouch Constant. Let’s take a look at an example to get a better idea with a smaller boat. Speed = square root of ( 50 hp/800 lb) X 150. Speed = 37.5 mph. In a pinch you can work this out on your own with a pen and paper. Or, more likely, the calculator on your phone.

As an example, consider a 25ft (7.6m) boat that goes at 10 knots in flat water. This is a speed-length ratio of two. That is the average speed over 2,000m for a single sculls rower in a world record time. The reason for this high speed is a half angle of entrance of less than 5º.

Max vang should be achieved in 15 knots and max cunningham in 18 knots. The Moth gets overpowered quickly, and from 18 knots upwards a softer tip or different sail is required. North’s LA and DS designs have a slight variation in the luff rounds to cover the range, with the DS being aimed at 14 knots true wind speed.
