36.8 kph, which translates to 22.9 mph, or 20 knots.....Not bad for two old f&%rts in their 70's.

Good winds all

PS. I should add - beat that with your Weta! (the above posted speed for H14 turbo).

I keep running into threads about the new Weta that say something like "fastest 14 foot multihill" or "must be faster than a H14". Post Weta corrected GPS numbers better than 18 knots (not peak readings) and then we'll have something to talk about ;-)
