Video of a NM run at Henty with dashware software recording speed. Not great quality or the best of angles, but shows the run. Was sailing a W49 with ODR8 5.7m. Could have been using the 6.2, but this was one of the first runs down the river and was expecting the wind to pick up (but it never did). Got a NM of 36.01 knots. Kaleb was behind me and got a 37.12 knot NM. The run keeps going for almost another km. The wind swung from WNW to the WSW later and dropped down a bit, but allowed runs in both directions in super flat water - a great spot to sail. A few PB's around the state including Henty: gpsteamchallenge.com.au/sailor_session/show?date=2017-01-14&team=27



Just realised that this run was actually too short and I didn't make the full NM (still got 35.75 knots), it was my next run where I got my 36.01 knot run, but the wind had dropped out a bit. If I had of kept going in the run in the video, I would have gotten a better NM - next time!

First run of 35.745 knots average (but didn't go far enough):



Second run - far enough, but not as consistent (36.013 knots):
