The main goal for the kiter’s there is to break the 60 knots barrier. With a channel as in the picture the water will be extremely smooth but will it be possible to improve the current WR by over 4 knots? What do you think?

I bet that counted as a "controlled" stop too. _________________ Captain kook; always wrong. Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Thu Aug 30, 12 8:04 am     61 kts!
