"Running out of Eagle Island Sound, they were greeted by six-foot waves and over 35 kts of breeze... At that point she was put in the corner and topped out at over 25 kts. When they came off the big waves she never slammed once. And then to prove that she did not roll, they laid her side to. Two prospective owners said they were very impressed!
"On sea trials when seas were flatter the top speed reached was 28 mph."
-Jon Johansen, Maine Coastal News, 15-31 May 2005

When tested for Coast Guard certification, it took 6500 lbs on one washrail to list the vessel 7 degrees. The Coast Guard official who certified the vessel claimed that it was the most stable vessel he had ever certified in his 25 years of doing certifications.
