The window receiver times a gate to about a second; the national archive carries one fix a minute, interpolated to about two. Her two bests are two different measurements and are never ranked against each other.

None.

Observed extremes

How fast she’s gone.

Observed top speed
20.1 kn · 26 Jan 2026 · off Charleston, SC · NOAA archive
Fastest leg
Sines to Las Palmas, Canary Islands · 47 h 52 m · 14.1 kn average · 2 Oct 2026 · bound

From our own position archives, with reasonableness checks: a plausible top speed over a corroborated window, a direct leg between two named places. A bound carries no second fix to confirm it and is labelled as one.
