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.

My sailing instructor referred to them as “owner-meters”… :^)

Aren't knotmeter transducers notoriously inaccurate?
