When casual sailors want to go faster, they buy a bicycle.

That question came up awhile back in the RV-12 forum. IIRC, 'rvbuilder2002' (Scott M.) addressed it and explained it. Maybe he or an RV-12 folk can point us to the post with the explanation.

EDIT: This is the thread that discusses the range numbers:

Yes, I recall that thread. What I was querying was the figures in post #68 that show very little difference in range in between the iS and ULS. That doesn't look right. Maybe a typo?
