I have been performing a lot of analysis of my GPS data from the weekend, and learning a lot of where I am loosing time around the course. The sort of numbers that you can get are quite interesting, and its fun to see how you compared racing yourself from one upwind leg to the next.

As part of this analysis I have finally managed, albeit only briefly, break the 20 knot barrier.

5 best 1 second (at least) average = 33.03km/h [17.83Knots]

1 second run n°1 = 37.20km/h [20.09Knots] (10.3 m. in 1.000 s.)

1 second run n°2 = 34.34km/h [18.54Knots] (9.5 m. in 1.000 s.)

1 second run n°3 = 31.85km/h [17.20Knots] (26.5 m. in 3.000 s.)

1 second run n°4 = 31.41km/h [16.96Knots] (26.2 m. in 3.000 s.)

1 second run n°5 = 30.32km/h [16.37Knots] (67.4 m. in 8.000 s.)

There was a 35 knot peak, but that obviously was not a real data point.

Now I just need to start becoming a regular visitor.
