Show us your wake shot !

Very pretty too, but not a planing hull I'm sure...I expect that at a little more than hull-speed in flat water, you're able to make your presence well-known among moorings!

I always enjoyed encountering someone's great churning wash, but then I'm never sitting at the table in a cabin with a brimming cup of coffee. What's your top speed?

My Hardy does produce some embarrassingly large wake at low speeds. I travel down the Hamble at a maximum 5 knots and my wake is just about acceptable, 5.5 knots and I am keeping a keen eye on folks in small dinghies and rowing boats and I'm ready to slow down, 6 knots and its like the seven bore following me... loaded up for our 2 week summer holiday and I'm down to 4 knots to ensure there are no complaints!

Highest top speed attained, Volvopaul and me aboard, flat calm run down Southampton water, empty of all cruising gear and water, but fuel tank full, 26.2 knots
 
Wake video from a Pershing 64 at 40+knots from a sea trial at the Cannes Boat Show last year, how I whish I was there now rather than sat behind a desk. Sorry about the narrow format.

Looks like a gallons-per-mile scene. :rolleyes: EDIT: Ooops, I thought I was joking! But the big Pershing carries 3500 litres (777gals) of fuel, enough for 460 miles at 42 knots...

...pretty sure that's one and two-thirds gallons per mile. Or, six quid per mile (or a quid every 14 seconds) at Cowes prices. Enjoy...

Cripes. Then she can plane.

My dad said he was on the Isle of Wight in the 1930s when one of the big Cunard ships came through at speed, and 15 mins later the wash was knocking people over on the beach. :D

Not sure at tis is exactly the type of Wake you meant?

First and third are taken on Loch Lomond, the second taken on Windermere below the LDNPA discriminating, un-inclusive, local economy reducing speed limit bye-law!!!!

Ah, seems I misinterpreted the remit here - I'd been looking for clean, crisp wake whereas it seems aquatic turmoil is the order of the day! I have 100's of those :cool:
