Max Speed - Atlantic - Newport to Tortola
Tom Burgess • November 24, 2007
Passage from Newport RI to Tortola BVI - Atlantic 48 - 2007
Max Speed
Max speed so far is 19.2 but we are consistently surfing at 15 plus. I grabbed this pic of 17.85 kts for the blog. I thought some people would get a kick. BTW...while doing this speed we are hanging around reading and napping.
Note from Monique: Looks like two hulls are better than one for the Burgess Crew! Thanks Chris White!
From Monique: when I post these, if I am lacking photos from crew...I'll add some random sailing ones to keep it fun!
