I have found the same to be true. When sailing Uni I found it as fast or faster (and much easier) to sit in, fly a hull and run deeper. As Wayne said above, not faster through the water, but faster from A to C, which is what we are trying to do.
I disagree. I find it quicker wiring, as long as I can sail consitantly on one hull and it's not too windy; when I was sailing a lot last year, too windy was about F5; I bet it's dropped to about F4 this year as I've only sailed about 6 times and the firts time there was enough wind wire doen wind was in June!!!!!! (Last time I sailed).
