More GPS goodness
Looks like more of the 18′ Skiff fleet will be carrying GPS devices from now on (at least while the novelty lasts).
Rollo has been using one, and now John on the Rag has used his new Velocitek to generate some polar diagrams out of GPSActionReplay.
Interesting that it only just maxed 21 knots in about 18 knots of breeze, but as John pointed out, the VMG is still impressive. I’m not sure that even Rohan’s new Bladerider can match those… or can it?
I’ll get the tracklogs from the last two weeks up eventually.

yeah, might be possible to get to 20 knots VMG in about 18 knots of wind but would need flat water. upwind is around 7-8 knots VMG from memory in the same breeze.
