#FridayFocus: Velocitek Speed Puck

This week we bring you an overview of the popular Velocitek Speed Puck which is a digital speed reader which utilises GPS technology.

As racers all we want to do is go faster, no matter how good you are you always feel you could have done something different to the boat to get that extra bit of speed across the race course.

The Velocitek Speed Puck uses GPS to track the device as it moves along the race course providing you a speed reading every 2 seconds using a large number with an accuracy of ±0.2 Knots.

As a sailor you can quickly switch between three different modes by using the big blue button on the face of the Speed Puck. This allows you the ability to either:

  • See your heading and wind shifts
  • See your maximum speed (average over 10 seconds)
  • See your current speed (updated every 2 seconds)

On top of all that the Speed Puck from Velocitek is also award winning and is very easy to fit to your boat. We believe it's the perfect tool to help improve your sailing, whether that's by watching the puck as you sail or by downloading and analysing all of the data you've collected from a day on the water.

Zhik Carbon Hiking Pads

Purchased to replace my old version Zhik hiking pads. These are much better, more stable and fix in the position you want them to. Not cheap, but I am sure will give plenty of good service. Worked really well with some Zhik neoprene shorts on a warm day.

ZHIK MENS MICROFLEECE X SKIFF SUIT

This is my second Microfleece Skiff Suit, the previous one gave nine years good service pretty much every week. Even in the winter I only resort to a thicker Zhik Skiff suit if it is sub 10 degrees. The old one got shredded by a stripped main sheet block split ring. The new suit is of good quality and more refined than the previous one. My only negative comment is the neck aperture is smaller than previous which makes getting your arms in and out a bit of a Houdini job, though I am perfecting the technique!

25mm webbing strap. 5 m length.

Long enough to tie down a laser. Bright enough to see your boat in a boatyard. Does what it says on the tin.

splicing trial

As always prompt order and delivery.
Item described as easy to splice, I'm not to sure on that, was quite difficult and developed into a bit of a tug of war.
in fairness splicing picture guide was not 100% clear.
End eye splice was good
