SPEED SAILING AT TWC 2009
2009 Speed Sailing Results page
So, you were sailing really fast huh? Seemed like you were going almost as
fast as Finian's record 48.70 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 Bill Quantock ibillyq@rogers.com
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..
Starting with the end of the 2009 season (end of October), we'll award;
1. Individual Awards to TWC members who achieve the 20, 25, 30...knot
levels noted on the Speed Sailing ladder
2. Fastest Member Speed at TWC Trophy
3. Fastest Member Speed in Ontario (Christopher
Hope TWC Ontario Speed Sailing Cup)
4. Fastest Member Speed Outside Ontario Trophy.
5. Fastest Member Longboard Speed
Lots to go for!
TWC has purchased 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, Bill Quantock .
We may get into categories sometime in the future, but for now, since TWC is the longboard capital of Canada (maybe N. America)
we have a longboard category. To qualify as a longboard, your board must have a
centreboard and be over 330 cm in length.
Check the 2006 Speed Sailing
Results page
2007 Speed Sailing Results page
2008 Speed Sailing Results page
to see how you and your competition are doing.
Good speed!
