Howdy Wouter,

The point I am trying to make is that the statement "Like every promoter the T class lied about 33 knot" is a very big statement to make. No where in the Tornado class statement did it mention sustained over X distance.

In the right conditions it is not unreasonable to believe that a T or other HP cats could not average 25 + on its best ever run with short bursts of up to 30 +.

Both you and I don't know who made this claim or how it was calculated / measured.... So until the claim is investigated, I believe it to be wrong to call BS. You can however take it with a grain of salt.

This is probably not a verified speed run but more somebody’s calculation used for promotional purposes. Because the WSSRC was not their to verify it, does not mean it did not happen.

Just for the record, I am sceptical of any claims of 30 knots sustained, be it a T or Skiff but would not argue that a short burst in the right conditions 33 + is impossible.
