48.9 knots (91km/h) max, that's impressive, with 46.3 average, elite freak the old slowboat!

Well done Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did 90 km/h once in my wife's Kombi, and I was ****tting myself, believe that's fast!

Welcome to the 90 km/h club Chris

Ah, what's wrong with Lockwood? Hightailing it back west. They're predicting another 35kts again today! Surely he can pull another Sandy Point sickie!

He can't handle too much flat water, he needs those Swan river Woopties under his feet

Yeh i spent some time sailing with chris in the winter on the swan in winter storms and he is super fast!! A few days at point walter he just glides through the water with no resistance n he actually looks like he can go much faster than 40knts he was doing at the time! Very little resistance and soo efficient looked like he did it in his sleep. Its all about waiting for that gust and timing ur run to match it and patience and persitance goes a long way!

Well done slowboat!!

Thanks guys, it was a relief to finally get some wind this year after such a quiet winter. Hopefully this summer brings on some big seabreezes!!!

If you practice sailing fast downwind in chop, you can go 5 or 10 knots faster on flat water for the same fear factor. So Perth is a great spot to get into it. Melville and Safety Bay on nuking seabreeze days at low tide will be the go this summer. Hook into a gust and go for it downwind.

cheers.
