None.

Observed extremes

How fast she’s gone.

Observed top speed
13.3 kn · 3 Sept 2022 · off Charleston, SC · national archive 2021-25

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.
