Re: M_Boats: m15 speed

last summer (2007) i was leaving gig harbor, WA, broad reaching in a light breeze and headed north up colvos passage and hit 8.5knts (~9.75mph) ... ok it was during the full flow of an ebb tide coming out of tacoma narrows ;-) dave scobie M15 - SCRED (yes i finally named the boat) visit scred's www-site: http://www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ ORLANDO VELEZ <velezo@verizon.net> wrote: Yesterday I saw in my fish finder speeds of 7 mph 8 and 12 mph I could not believe it but the sudden acceleration and the breaking over the front wave was obvious. Have anyone seen this? Maybe turbulence over paddlewheel? It was really windy (white caps) broad reaching with full main and genoa.
