If you want to know your speed - on the cheap... get a $5 app for your phone
put your phone away in a dry bag and check it on break / after sailing
if you want "on the fly" GPS - it's gonna cost a pretty penny[/quote]
Agree: the phone is good for recording your tracks and speed and review it later, but not good for checking whether you are reaching those 20 kts: you need one hand to watch the screen. Forget about a sailing app with more sophisticated info, it will only result in your phone invading that space too. Additionally, the app you use should work with the screen off (locked), otherwise it will eat the battery quickly, not good if you also carry your phone to be able to call.
GPS watch maybe. Expensive though.[/quote]
