Just found this on Youtube, I think it give a pretty good perspective on the speed of Miss GEICO, Aquamania, WHM, and Superheat. Notice the copter, if it were racing it would have been runnung 5th lol

Offshore Racing wasnīt designed to be a spectator sport, it's for people or companies with's lots of money to push the envelope of endurance technology and hopefully put a trophy on a mantle. It's man vs the elements, not like boats with like engines running in circles.
