You are right, there is much more to it than what I proposed.

We can all agree that if speed was truly of the essence, a luxury yacht wouldn't be the first choice. Speed requires sacrificing some comfort. Which, looking at interior pics, is definitely out of the question here.

True... you're definitely right. I don't think many of the billionaires would be comfortable cresting down waves at 35 knots, they would probably be either throwing up or praying. :)
