Not at all, but as I said it is a little more challenging driving on top of the seas at high speed, compared to going through the waves at lower speeds. But the idea with the D75 design is to be able to do both, the narrow bow will split the waves in lower speeds and should be lifted above in higher speeds. Remains to be seen of course, but you get a hint of it if you look at the modern fast sailing boats.
