That's the reason for the trim bassast under the fwd berth- just forward of the bulkhead.

This speed increase comes when he stands in the cabin. I have even seen an occasional 7 k on my GPS with him standing in the cabin and leaning forward at the base of the mast. We go back into the 5k area when he comes into the cockpit.
