What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 21.5 kn · 11 Mar 2026 · off Manzanillo, Mexico · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Savannah, GA to Charleston, SC · 8 h 55 m · 8.3 kn average · 5 Jan 2026 · to the hour
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.
