[quote=sullivar]I am interested in speed data for different cats. With the widespread use of gps and data processing software, there must be a lot of folks with interesting info on how fast their cats are going. It would be great if there was a venue to post this data - maybe a dedicated thread or website (like the windsurf and kite surf folks do).
Here is speed data for my best H14T run this summer (see below GSPAR PRO output). For those who don't want to wade through it, the summaries are:
Best average 10 sec run = 18.6 knots
Best average one hour run = 10 knots
Best average 500 meter run = 16.1 knots
Best average nautical mile = 12.1 knots
The max 10 sec speed run was trapped out at 115 degrees to the wind. Wind speed was around 17 knots gusting to 20 knots. Seas were smooth to small waves.
The use of analytical software for gps data is necessary because of the unreliability of instanteous readings e.g. the peak indicated speed for this day out was 19.5 knots.
Cheers,
Sullivar
