The Paceship 29 Cc is designed for cruising comfort rather than racing.
Hull Speed
The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.
6.3 kts
A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length.
With a waterline of 22.0′, the Paceship 29 Cc tops out around 6.3 knots in displacement mode — after that, the bow wave outruns the hull and resistance climbs steeply.
1.34 × √22.0′ LWL = 6.3 kts
