Maybe for you monomaran types!

Not unless it is speed through the water. I have had those figures going around Portland in a 6 ton Hillyard!


And yes, that does mean VOG was about 9 knots! sigh...

I think T-K shows a pic of log reading, not gps.

Certainly not a record!

For those too young to remember, a record is/was a black disc approx 5 ins in diameter, which was put into a machine called a record player/sterio and produced music.

They can still be found in antique shops and at car boot sales.

Quite right, speed through the water, F6 on the quarter, 105% genny, 1 reef in main, en route Go Sport from Brighton, Saturday.

My ST60 log often records a max speed of 160 odd knots when I ask it at the end of a passage. I never seem to be on deck when those speeds are recorded though. Think I might need to get somebody to look at it.

 

[AngusMcDoon]

Only one bedroom, but does have central heating and curtains. Works out at about 7 knots per hull, so not all that good.

Of course, not having a keel, I can't sail upwind very well. Not when there's an r in the month anyway.

More like the max speed alarm setting.

7", 10" or 12" surely? 5.25" came later, was flexible, was put into a machine called a disc drive and produced error messages.

I've often heard those Tacktick instruments are a bit dodgy!

You must have surfed off a wave to get that reading - bet it wasnt just you and Madame aboard !

Two of us, Madame driving. She doesn't even go that fast on her bike!

Yes, it was a surf - there were lots of double figure ones, but that was the best.

What was the sea state for that?

 

[nimbusgb]

Doubt it. Had 20+ boatspeed on a Peterson 33. SurFing is fun! The mechanical log stopped at 20 and we had it pegged!

Fairly Irish.
