Title: Faster....FASTER!!!!!!!
Post by: janeysailor12 on 04 Mar 2007, 01:22
Just seen on the B14 page.  One of the members has recorded 26.2 knots in his B on Sunday......NOW I know why I bought one  :D....but seriously they used a Garmin thingy to measure the speed...I know it won't measure now fas a 12 planes but has anyone ever measured the top speed of a 12 using this kind of instrument.

P.S...... and YES I know they're illegal for racing

If memory serves, Fran was clocked in a 12 at a Police event going 14+kts in a 10kt limit. She got 2 points on her licence and a 10kg weight penalty at all Gill events!!
