Open Ocean Speed Record
Just going over the results for the Ledge Point to Lancelin Classic. Bloody impressive speeds for the top sailors. Matteo Iachino, a former PWA Slalom Champion, averaged 63.5 km (34.29 knots) for the race distance finishing in 24 mins 13 secs.......wow. Second Place Patrick Diethelm averaged 62.4 km (33.7 knots) for 24 min 37 secs.

Imagine what they would have done for 1 hour, considering the best 1 hr on GPSSS/GPSTC is 30 knots...bye bye record. Impressive speeds all round, even the sixth place finisher averaged over 30 knots!

All this was done in open ocean conditions with swell and chop and not on flat water like Lake George. Congrats to all that took part and completed the distance!
