Get ready for a thrilling update on the 2023 Global Speed Stick Sailing Competition! As we dive into this episode, we’ll be revealing the top contenders, their impressive speeds, and the epic locations where they’ve been conquering the waves.
Best Places to Sail Fast
Looking for the ultimate sailing destination? Look no further than Vasiliki on the Greek island of Lefkada – it’s undoubtedly one of the best spots in the world for high-speed sailing. Don’t forget to check out other exceptional locations like Grand Cayman, Lake Weyba in Queensland, Australia, and various places in Germany, South Africa, Canada, and more!
Best GPS Devices for Sailing
If you’re wondering which GPS device to use for tracking your sailing speed, look no further. For iOS users, the Water Speed app is an absolute must. It not only provides your current speed but also gives you a wealth of statistics from your entire sailing session. What’s more? The official speed tracker of Joy Rider TV, it’s highly recommended!
Don’t own an iPhone? No worries! You can use a dry bag to house your phone and run apps like Strava, which is free and compatible with the Speed Stick. So, let’s take a look at some impressive speeds from sailors worldwide and see how they achieved them.

Here's how it works:

Along with some info:
Helm + Crew names
