Joe,The best I've done is about 35 knots on my DN on the hard water here in the
Chesapeake Bay.The record for a DN iceboat is about 65 kts. It's really scary
when it goes greater than ~ 25 kts. Fortunately most of my ice sailing is
usually below 20 kts.
On Der Baron, we've occasionally hit 15-16 knots. We call that white knuckle
weather!!

Joe,
Best I’ve done is about 12 knots in an Open 60 (Queen Margaret I think) coming
Bank north on the bay after a Governor’s Cup race a number of years ago. The
best part of the ride was feeling her suddenly go from 5-6 it’s. to 12. I
swear she started to plane.

Subject: Stus-List Ship's lights Coming home in the dark at about 35 knots
from a dinner in Chestertown, my buddy was steering due west and saw a tanker
going due south. He was going “between the ships” until I asked him why we were
doing a kamikaze attack on a ship!Subs are really bad at night. I came across
an anchored sub in the dark. They are very low in the water, pitch black, and
have one anchor light on the conning tower and one on the stern on top of the
rudder. It really looks like two separate boats to the point the Navy had to
have a RIB run abound it in circles to keep people away from it. JoeCoquina

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stus-List Ship's lights Speaking of navigation lights, when
the big supertankers first came out, folks weren't used to seeing them at
night. There were several incidents around Tokyo Bay where small coastal
freighters thought that, because the masthead and bow lights were so far apart,
the tankers were two separate ships and tried to go between the lights. Wasn't
long before the tankers started hanging strings of lights down the sides of the
ship to show that they were one ship. Of course, then they looked like a
lighted bridge. If you are unfamiliar with navigation light patterns, here's a
test: http://www.usboating.com/testlights.asp Even if you think you know, it's
a good refresher. I always miss several. Dennis C.Touche' 35-1 #83Mandeville,
