Topic: How fast???? Posted: 22 Nov 04 at 12:48pm |
Hi, I was just wondering what sort of top speeds Toppers can go in a big blow because i know that lasers can go about 16-17 knots in a force seven and i no toppers arent fast compared to lasers but what sort of speed do any of you lot think they are capable of going????
Thanks |
