Particulars come from her AIS broadcast and the sourced facts ledger. A type decided from her name or her operator is a guess and is labelled as one.

Her best, by register

Two measurements, kept apart.

Best race score, archive

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.

Records held

What she holds.

None.

Observed extremes

How fast she’s gone.

Observed top speed
20.0 kn · 23 Jun 2026 · off Los Angeles, CA · NOAA archive
Fastest leg
New York, NY to Boston, MA · 29 h 21 m · 5.7 kn average · 11 Apr 2026

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.
