I suspect Someone would have a problem with that boat on the lake. There is ALWAYS Someone.

From the Speed numbers I have been able to find it looks like the Vestas boat reached 102.92 Kph/63.95 mph. Other than speed on the lake, the problem I think would be the Beam of the boat ...combined with the Speed...

Lets not forget OUR "Sensible" 150' rule. .......Wipeout those idle Bayliners

Another note: The Vestas boat waited for good wind on windward shore to avoid seas. They had the advantage of strong wind just downwind and over a beach,....SO NO Waves.

The French have ALWAYS been the leaders/inovators in Offshore and particularly Single Handed Long Distance Offshore racing . ie: Round The World

EDIT: Lets not forget the UNITS of Conversion. MPH to Acres Per Second....
