He did 37 knots at rye pier, awesome pic man

was that last satdy when this pic was taken??? wish i was there, dam

great pic - well done. 37 kts is tough in those conditions - abit different to the Pit

I saw a few of spotties runs from the beach or when I was standing in the shallows waiting for a lul so i could sail
One thing that I noticed was that his board was flying everywhere absorbing the chop but he looked rock solid holding the rig down, awesome to watch

Yes good conditions at Rye last Sat', & hard to stay in control in such conditions/speeds.
I was reaching peaks of 39, 38, 37 a bit after where this pic was taken from the stone groin near the pier, best peak was a bit west of the Tootgarook boat ramp.

1sec 39.285
2sec 39.202

35 knot nautical mile - crikey Spotty; as a ratio of your top speed, thats seriously honking.
Did that include any sandbar weaving, or is the fin too small to care?

he looks super charged with that wake behind him

Ok Spotty I think you have proved your can sail pretty fast now I think it's time to put the gps away and come out and play in the waves again!!!

NO!
I just don't sail anymore!! need to work less and sail more.
I actually pulled the gear out yesterday arvo and went to Mt Martha but the wind droped out... and I remembered why I got sick of (spoilt!!) sailing in Vic!!!
I did sail in the bay last month on a NW was good fun.
no daylight savings = not much time to sail!
