	Now that GPS devices are cheap and plentiful we have the ability of measuring boat speed at specific distances. At the recently held 2007 US Nationals and Internationals a couple boats used a GPS device made by Velocitek to record their location and speeds. For more information on this device, visit their web site: http://sailgps.com/. If you are interested in purchasing a Velocitek GPS device, HAPCO is a distributor. Contact Peter Duncan at SailFaster@aol.com for more information.
