Want to See How Fast You Can Go? Join the Global Speed Stick Competition!
No matter your skill level or boat type, everyone has a chance to challenge themselves and see how they measure up. Whether you're chasing personal bests or competing against sailors worldwide, your entries could be featured in our next update video.
Yes, we're mainly focusing on maximum speed, so keep in mind GPS inaccuracies can occur and the data isn't always perfectly precise. Not everyone has the tools to measure speed over time or distance, but that shouldn’t stop you from joining in.

Here's how to participate:

Finish your session, check your GPS for your top speed.
Send your results to [email protected] along with:
Helm + Crew names
Boat type, location, and evidence (like a GPS screenshot)
Any photos or video clips you'd like to include for the next update

A few tips:

Be honest about your speed — if your GPS shows a sudden spike, it might be a glitch.
Keep your GPS running during your sail to avoid unusual readings caused by starting or stopping it too early or late.

And the best part?
You're competing against yourself and your previous best speeds — nobody else! Submit as many entries as you like, but only faster results count toward beating your own records. If you change crew, that’s still the same entry, but a different helm or boat type means a new one.

So get out there, sheet in, hang on, and have fun. Stay safe, and good luck!
