I really love this entry from Wikipedia:

Speed:

Designed: 24 kn (28 mph; 44 km/h)

Achieved: 28.7 kn (53.2 km/h; 33.0 mph)
Thanks Lou although their are quite a few flaws I'm glad how well it's turning out.
It is so amazing what you can do when you determined to do it. Such as the men of taffy 3 and other brave men of all wars did.
