[quote=Edchris177][quote]15kts is unimpressive if you spend all of your time reading about Hobie 16s and 18s hitting 25 plus. [/quote]
So true. It's fun to post your max speed, but one has to realize that is most likely on a very short GPS leg. When I look at the data files, most of my top speeds are only a length of 20-80 meters.
A broad reach, & a good blow will give sustained stretches of 16-18 mph.
Sustained 15 is pretty good, especially if the wind is only 14ish or so. I'm sure the 17's could break 20 if they had smooth water & the right wind.
So far I have not made the H18 break 21, even for a short leg. Made 20.6 broad reaching over almost 100 yds tonight during the full Moon Sail[/quote]
