The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 186 with a high of 201 and low of 159. It has a hull speed of 5.96 kn (11.04 km/h).[2]

gollark: It is arguably pretty next-generation. It's designed to function more like AE2, with one server, multiple terminals and automation.
gollark: Hah, squid's artist thread is called "Previous-Generation Plethora Storage".
gollark: The forums seem quite quiet.
gollark: What about the ability to edit in markdown then have it be converted to bbcode?
gollark: Much terser, for one thing, and with much more compatibility across stuff (except forums).
