Jacques Kint (connewarre Cremaster) hit 40.3 knots yesterday at Swan Bay Queenscliff... Spotty came soo close but I think this is the first one over 40 knots that I can find..

Not bad for someone who has only been sailing 2 years ..Well Done!!!
taught him everything I know...

Congrats to Jacq's - awesome run. So Red if you taught him everything you know why didn't you get to 40 kts on the bay before Jacq's?

the rest the bugger worked out by himself!

its a beautiful spot, plenty of flat water, and id imagine its clean too, seeing its proximity to the PPB heads.

Ive always wanted to give it a go but chickened out every time.

I didn't realize skimming your GT31 across the water like a pebble counted??? Nah it was a great effort , the tide was running out and the " course" was vanishing rapidly . Will be there tomorrow hope the tides are in favor . 18 knot northerly should be good esp with 37 degree temp.
