FWIW According to the Captain of the Century, sailing speed has had an effect on the frequency of pod problems on the M-class ships. A message on another forum states:
"When I asked the Master of Century how he explained the better record of Connie vs the other M-ships.. he responded fewer days sailing at speeds over 19 knots. He suggested that Connie's itineraries are not as demanding as ships that must go faster to make their port stops, especially in Alaska and S America."
