Thanks,  Bob Deering, for this link!

We  have long wondered about these fast wave-piercing power cats. We usually
see at  least one every winter east of and between St. Lucia and Martinique.
They look like a minibus driving on a distant road with no apparent  motion
other than what looks like 20 knots in 8-10 foot seas.  Fascinating to see such
speed and stability as we bounce along in our  monohull! We have never seen
one in port, only underway and some distance  off; they seem to keep well west
of the coastal shelving.

Regards,

John
