Top Speed http://pictures.topspeed.com/images/iMenu/ts_logo.gif http://www.topspeed.com/ en Racing yachts http://www.topspeed.com/boats/racing-yachts/ke2421.html Racing yachts Racing yachts try to reduce the wetted surface area (which creates drag) by keeping the hull light whilst having a deep and heavy bulb keel, allowing them to support a tall mast with a great sail area. Modern designs tend to have a very wide beam, with a flat bottom, to provide buoyancy preventing an excessive heel angle. Speeds of up to 40 mph can be obtained in good conditions.
