one of my dads mate is running a gt-31 to get the out rite australian top speed in his speed boat dad looked at his data and did a 41 knot jibe !!! if i get hold of his tracks i will post it.mind you his run in speed is over 200km. he has bet the record but you have to beat it twice over two runs.

i would not of said he got an alpha of that if it was not in a proximity of 50m,he took a wide turn and was lucky to just get back inside the radius. he followed that up with a 36 knot one as well.

Last week while water skiing I wore a GPS to get an idea of speeds. I hit a 2 sec peak of 31.5 knots and had an alpha of 29.481, with a minimum speed of 26.5 knots! The boat driver was doing tight circles to try and shake me off I think! First time single ski water skiing and surprisingly hard work on the thighs. Some serious G forces on those tight banked turns.
