The eXtreme 40

Can it really do 40 knots? That seems a little excessive to me.

I have done 70kts with one.

The speedo on the Van was reading that as we towed it down the M25 anyway...

But on the water with a GPS I have seen 34kts. The boat was really on the edge of control at that pace though.

**** on your here Macca. There isn't a van in the world that gives speeds in knots.

Maybe no, but that would be really cool...

"Yes, officer. I do know how fast I was going."

No Bull.

My GPS unit, when in the car will read what ever I want it to. Kts, MPH, MPS, KMH. No problem at all. Must find a track to see what the Vmax on my car is. It is geared to about 200mph, but it would never get there!

Only 70 kts Macca?, need a bigger van....(but avoid the police! )

i'd think 30's would be about right too

jimmy spithill is quoted as saying they are in the 40's with bmwo's 90 foot tri and that probably won't get to 50

I wouldn't put it past Macca to convert it. Probably forgotten how to read kmh / mph now.

Judging from what I see the eXtreme trimarans doing, I couldn't see a 40 getting to 40. But that's that one of the skippers in the iShares Cup said.
