Truth will out

Lots of quibbling about whether their boats can outpace swimmers over on Scuttle. I've even added my 2p as to how to get 10 knots out of a rag 'n' stick. But they've been studiously ignoring me. Last I looked they're down to arguing about how big their bits are. :D

He was having a blast and getting good speed out of a bav34 so i was surprised that so many scutbutters were critical. But the way he'd lined up his raymarine instruments on the dashboard was atrocious :-) Fastest I've been under sail is 19kts

Whereas over here you measure your manhood by the size of your rooster tail? :D:D:D
 
Oh well - if you want to chuck numbers about - fastest I've been undersail (recorded) was 22kts, unrecorded it's prob around 25kts (didn't have the GPS on me). Technically I wasn't "in" the boat though - I was standing on the side...

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

Lovely speech BJB, along with his "Once more unto the breach..." a couple of hours earlier. I regularly quote them to French officials who wont give me a berthing space or car disc or whatever, especially around late October. Works a treat :-)
