how do you guys use your gps besides max speed at any strip? for me since i sail alone for the past 3wks. due to my shift at the hospital i try to make it a point to at least go for a quick sail about 45mins to an hour..and try to hit 13nm, 15kts ave. speed, 28kts max on a beam to broad not really going top end..depends on the wind though and do figure 8's and i think it's good enough to for a quickie unless am just lonely and don't have friends to drag with![]()
hey is this good enough or am just lazy not doing more effort to make the most of the session![]()
The GPS Team Challenge encourages you to achieve more than a peak speed. Some sailor go for distance, some go for consistent speed over an hour or a nautical mile, some people couple go good speeds through their figure eights over 500 meters and some sailors go for everything.
