Sure, it could be a mistake. We just put in the figures out of Realspeed, but if someone wants to check they are welcome. I'm not really used to the software.

That's my fault, I'm a bit of a realspeed newbie and I've posted the wrong figure.

hi dylan,

if you send me the tracks i'll take a look. something still doesn't seem right with the 3rd jan results.

what you need to look for is a spike in the track. if you click on the alpha time it will jump to the position in the track map where it was done. ifthe gybe isn't a curve. ie. if it has a straight section then it;s a spike.

spikes can happen because the gps is worn under a wetshirt or is obscured in it's view of the sky.

for a rule of thumb i have found my good alphas are between 10-8 knots less than my 2sec max.

i know kelly is an excellent sailor so i am not saying she isn't capable.

i really hope i'm wrong cause she's on my team.

the alpha looks good dylan.

however the peak speeds i am getting are higher than whats on gps.

someones going to be happy

i'll write them all down and send it to you.

cheers
