When the boat is utilised as an ordinary launch, travelling or the surface, the speed is about 8 knots, with the motor making about 50 revolutions; but when these are increased to 1,450 ru volutions, the vessel darts forward into the skimming position, and the speed is necelerated at a great rate until 23 to 27 knote in attained.
