A couple of days ago Lao Shi sent me a track which shows a good example of how to get the best gps peak (as opposed to best speed between 2 points) from a gust.
Well I have to admit I was sceptical with his best track being 4 knots faster than his 2nd best after about 30 runs with most being in the 33-34 knot range. But after thorough analysis on 3 different programs it was clear that earlier on in the session on a good gust he bore away another 25 degrees more than all the other runs he made down the bar that afternoon and that allowed his speed to jump up 4 knots.
The speed on the image is dodgy as it is converted from Doppler Realspeed to gpx so I could image it on my old version of GPSAR... but it looks nice. :-))
As you can see it is really the only time Lao Shi went deep... but you need to be powered.
Agree Yoyo but you need the wind behind ya.
I always find you have to be overpowered upwind to get a good run off the wind.
Sometimes it feels like your running out of wind but you should just keep going you will be surprised 
.
Actually Mark it looks like from the trackpoints that you did an Elmo at the end of that run then sail back up to the bar.
