I have calibrated my knotmeter with my gps on my tablet. They rarely are the exact same and are 0.1 to 0.3 kt difference with the knotmeter reading faster than the gps. My tablet may not be perfect either. My 26 as I stated does not go as fast as Sam's. Upwind I am 5.0 to 5.5 and reaching sometimes over 6.0. My personal best is 6.9 reaching, for 4 seconds, and in flat water and a really nice puff. I singlehand alot and don't know how to fly the spinnaker yet so I don't know if that might allow faster speeds. David Donnelly C&C 26 Mistress
