This boat will travel comfortably at 20 knots and will be tracked at 25knots over a measured distance or I will crash and burn trying.
will put my actions where my mouth is.
Warbird: Do you have any GPS tracks from any of these 20-25kts sessions? I am really interested in how those runs where built up because 25kts is a lot of speed (especially without a spi), I have done 28kts on my windsurfer and cant image doing that on a "simple" beachcat.
(btw. I found 1 of your bookname suggestions a little disturbing, and its spelled "Mein" not "Mien". http://www.learntospell.com
