Speed Sailing at TWC
2011 Speed Sailing Results
So, you were sailing really fast huh? Seemed like you were going almost as
fast as Finian's record 49.09 knots?
Well, here's a chance to see how your speed stacked up against speedy sailors
from TWC. Wait for a windy day, set your GPS to record max. speed in knots,
sail very fast, and e-mail your results (Speed in knots, Sailor name,
Date/Location/Wind, Board/Sail/Fin, Verification [TWC Board Member, TWC member,
friend you paid or no verification]) to Jeff Martin .
We're not intending this be global in scope and will only post results
from members or friends of TWC. Our intention is to encourage and motivate
members and friends to participate in friendly competition against each other
and to improve their individual speed sailing.
We'll update the Speed Sailing page by posting results submitted on the Speed
Sailing page ASAP after they're submitted.
At the end of each season (end of October), we'll award:
- Individual Awards to TWC members who achieve the 20, 25, 30...knot
levels noted on the Speed Sailing ladder (These are Lifetime Achievement
Awards...you only get each level once...not once each year!)
- Fastest Member Speed at TWC Trophy
- Fastest Member Speed in Ontario (Christopher Hope
TWC Ontario Speed Sailing Cup)
- Fastest Member Speed Outside Ontario
Trophy.
- Fastest Member Longboard Speed (has a centreboard
and is over 330 cm in length)
Lots to go for!
TWC has GPS units to facilitate Speed Sailing activity and members will be able
to borrow these from members of the Speed Sailing committee; Chris Hope, Jeff MacIntosh, Jeff Martin or "Dr. Speed" aka Robert Felkai.
