Check this out: Banque Populaire (trimaran, which recently raced round the world in a record 45 days) passing a catemaran in the Atlantic, the cat doing around 10knots in 25 knots of breeze, Populaire doing 37 knots...

Then check this out, the same event taken from the cat, Happy Cat, a Lagoon 421, which was doing the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers.
There are some links on the right of the YouTube with Populaire doing 42 knots...
