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.
What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 20.9 kn · 5 Apr 2026 · off Cape Hatteras, NC · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Houston, TX to Galveston, TX · 1 h 24 m · 29.4 kn average · 24 May 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.
