Faster in Rich Passage[edit]

An interesting feature of the catamaran ferry is that it produces less wake at higher speeds, opposite of the existing ferry fleet. 38 knots through Rich Passage is extraordinary: in the last iteration of "fast" ferry service, the Tyee was restricted to 12 kt there and the Chinook (catamaran) caused lawsuits when running at 34 kt [1]. I'm struggling with introducing this to the article without WP:OR, however. - Bri (talk) 17:43, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
