Fun sail on a racing boat

After having raced for most of my sailing career it's funny how you change. Getting our cruising boat, a 17,000 lbs modified full-keel boat, designed to keep you comfortable at sea was a good choice for sure. Then yesterday I went out on a friends all-out racing boat, a customized Schock 35 with very few amenities and carbon fiber everything, sails, tiller and toilet seat. The boat weighs 10,000 lbs total, with more sail area than ours. Pictures below and a couple videos show the difference between the ride on our boat and the same sized racing boat. We're reaching along in almost 16 knots of wind doing 8 knots of boat speed, a full knot faster than ours in the same conditions. The top video is the speed and motion above, then the 2nd video is the experience down below. The noise is quite loud plus getting thrown around down below, I bet Lynette would not sign up for that. I asked her "Aren't you glad I did not convince you to get a racing boat?" 
Just doing the basics on our boat can be difficult when in the ocean, the rocking and rolling is significant. In bigger seas ours does really well, the racing boat down below can be dangerous where you can fall across the cabin and break something. The owner said he came very close to getting hurt yesterday. People were amazed that I could simply go to the head (toilet) yesterday, the one lady that was with us saw no possible way for her to relieve herself under the conditions. Which by the way was a very mild day on the ocean, 3-5 foot swells that were 20-30 seconds apart and 1-2 foot wind waves and the wind blowing from 10-15 kts. The British sailors never get a day this nice.
