Pete Davis's Edit of Weymouth Speed Week 2008


2008 was a record year. A new harbour record has been set by Anders Bringdal with a speed of 38.56 knots and the majority of competitors on the course  exceeded 30 knots. During the week wind speeds reached 30 - 35 knots on several occasions.

The Race-Trax GPS timing system was trialled in the extreme conditions and appeared to perform excellently.

Anders Bringdal on course, note the GPS transponder which is carried in a 'camel' back pack.
