That's not very much. When I was last playing (in a S-boat), the difference was less. I don't think I ever lost more than 2 knots in the worst weather. And I should add, the S-class were notorious for their poor seakeeping qualities. In SHCE, top speed for the S-class boats in heavy seas was about 4 knots!
