[quote=lonbordin]I've yet to see a situation where two boats of a similar DPN have that much in the way of difference in top speeds. It seems to me, as always, it's the sailor that makes the difference.
For instance you on a H14T vs me. I weigh 245 (naked) and don't have that much experience with the H14T... but maybe there is a sub 100lb teen with the right experience that could totally make 20kt on a H14T.
I've had a GPS on board many times but I find looking at my wake is easier in looking for overall speed. I agree that looking at the sails/telltales only tells part of the story.
I promise once the Trac18 is on the water I'll contribute my GPS readings to the thread. :)
