did a slinky 124.3kph last saturday whilst keeping pace with the Windjet . I wish now I hadnt been such a gentleman and let him have the lead. Richard says he clocked 147 kph , which would beat VINDICATOR'S 144.1 in 1993. Im am the official club technical officer so If members want their speeds recorded on club records they have to present the data to me.
80 -85 is not unheard of for blowies on salt. last year one did 87as a 2 seater with 3m sail.
remember the 3 important factors
WIND
SALT/SAND
BALLS( bigger is better)
