Exactly what I was thinking. It's really amazing, how various sensory inputs contribute to the experience of speed. I raced on a 40' sailboat for some pretty hairy races. They'd be incredible noises, water breaking over the rail, etc. Felt like we were flying, when in truth max speed was probably about 9 knots. Hop into a 40' powerboat and do 9 knots... it feels unbearably slow. Dan Masi '96 A4Q
