I`m amazed that they say they only get up to max. speed some 300m into the course - if they want to average 50knots over 500m, you`d think they`d enter the course at max, speed ? This means that in order to average 50knots over the course, they`d have to be doing close to 60knots at the end of it.
They do not have the room for a run up at Sandy Point and must also come from out of the lee of a large sand dune. Despite being very light for its size, MI is no windsurfer and requires a fair run up to hit top speed.
I believe they are exiting their runs in excess of mid 50s. If they had more room, then 50s would not be a problem.
