On a good day that thing could keep up with a modern ship...............

[The Noof]

A feat to sail in high winds no doubt. how beautiful she looks....

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.


Part of a poem by John Masefield.

Yes if they didn't need to zig zag for direction.

On a good day that thing could keep up with a modern ship...............

But an internal combustion demon could NEVER have half the character...
