this doesn't even show the speed you can get up to on these babies. Man I miss sailing mine :(

[element9977]

@cherubman3052 My camera has a GPS built in to it. Our top recorded speed during the event was 18.6 knots

Good stuff good stuff :) This taken down under?

[cherubman3052]

@YouShouldBeScared - Yeah, taken at the Cherub Nationals in Yeppoon, Queensland Australia. It's fantastic sailing up there when the chop doesn't get in the way.

Awesome sailing, isn't the crew a bit harsh on the helm though?

[element9977]

@Chrisgamee wasn't being harsh, I couldn't hear a word the helm was saying! Sounds like I was being harsh but we were just being competitive.
