:: New to the Express here in Hood River OR ( The Gorge )

:: 90% of our racing is with the #3 (18+). Downwind we are

:: Assuming our speedo is calibrated correctly, what should

:: We have a couple well sailed Moore 24's here. How should

:: Thanks for the help. Absolutely love the boat.

A question I've always wondered about. I've had to recalibrate speedo a few times and I think it is close to accurate. I find with the #3 a speed of 5.4-5.7 keeps my boat with those boats that are setting the pace. Above 6 and I'm not pointing with the fast boats. I don't know if my numbers are true targets. I regard the speedo as not strictly accurate but a handy device to judge boat speed in the absence of other express'. SDK
