8 to 10 knots at a guess

1 up, may just plane, but 2 up I suspect 8 knots and pushing a bit of a hump in front.

Oh lord, has anyone still got the pix of tcm testing out whether a tender tied alongside could propel his (then) Leopard 23 Sport?

I seem to remember that the ansewer to that question was about 2 knots.
