I feel the need the need for speed!

The Vago Speed Record has been running ‘informally’ on our class association forum for some time now, so we thought we better collate it and add a few conditions to make it fair. The website currently has a top 5 ranking of speed records, but new entrants will be added to this list as they occur.

We have put together the following rules to even out the playing field….

  • All Vago sailors can have an entry in the speed record list, although only your highest speed will be logged.
  • Speed attempts must be verified using a GPS (most phones have these now!)
  • A photo of the GPS readout must be produced (and posted in the forum).
  • Speed records on tidal or flowing water do not count.
  • If available, video footage of attempts will also be linked into the table.

So what are you waiting for speed freaks? Get out on the water and show us your skills! The table is currently topped by Stuart & Fraser Harris, who set a record of 15.9 knots or 18.3 mph at Rutland last year – think you can beat it?

Today’s new feature – the Vago Speed Record.

P.S. Thanks for all your Vago Register updates from yesterday.
