The new norwegian F18 website is up. In addition to the "regular" contents, they are also running a 'Speed trophy' section.

Ref: http://www.formula18.no/?page_id=36 (in norwegian of course)

The rules are that the speed have to be measured as an average over 10 secs on a GPS unit like the speedpuck or similar. Then a third party have to verify the reading.
Record have to be set in Norway
Have to be set by a certified F18 (valid measurement I suppose)


I like it. The measurement is of course not neccesarily a reflection of true speed through the water, but it opens the possibility for some good fun. Not everything have to be dead serious. smile

Current "record" is listed as 20.1 knots in 12-14m/s windspeed.
