First time user of GPS
It is embarrsing to post this but what the heck I am proud of it.
Maximum speed 25.87 kts done at the PIT on Monday on my Barge of a board(the serious guys reckon I could get 30kts out of it) Mistral 144 ltr with a 6.5 mtr sail.
When the wind hit 25 - 30kts changed from a 50 cm fin to a 40 cm fin and put my 5.5 mtr up and got 23 .? kts
Bloody fast for me
- probably the fastest I have ever done. Aiming for 30+ kts on my current equipment now then I will look at getting a smaller board and go hunting the Jman and the KGB LOL
Well done mate!
It's difficult to get good speed out of wide boards and big fins... I think that those numbers are quite respectable for your gear.
Now it's time for the shameless pimp (ha ha):
Have you joined the GPS Team Challenge? www.gpsteamchallenge.com.au
Good thing you're in Victoria or Mineral would be all over you like a rash.
Not too much embarrassing about 25/26 Knots....However, I do wonder why you use the word "Old" ....Good luck anyway.
Well done. If you are ever over the Geelong side of town come and have a sail with us out at Pt Henry
And you have to join the GPSTC now you have a GPS. Its compulsory ... and very addictive

Hey OB64
I do plan to get down your way over summer sometime as I have relos at Point Henry. Will PM you and Red when a trip is on. I was suggesting to a few at Sandy Point last weekend that we should plan a road trip to visit our Western neighbours
Hey old salty..
Went to Sandy on the weekend (Sat & Sun only) and managed a dawn sail on the sunday morning. I reckon I saw you and your mighty Mistral but didn't put 2 and 2 together till you post above. I think Getting you and Pat (OB64) sailing together would be a hoot!
There's the traps of youth, and the traps of age, and it's all so easy to fall into any of them.
But windsurfing helps to keep you sane!
