Deuce Speed Record
Chris Moore & Tony Elliot 39.1 MPH 3m sails. Weston S Mare (Beach)
Chris Moore & James Brown 29.4 MPH Pendine S.Wales (Beach)
Chris Moore and Phil Chapman both managed to achieve 50MPH in 25MPH winds at a Pembrey meeting.
Interestingly these speeds were achieved using differently rigged karts - one with a 2m and one with a 3m rig.
Apparently the kart with a 3m suffered sideways drift, where the 2m kart went in a straight line!
