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
- 22.2 kn · 20 May 2026 · off Nantucket, MA · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Charleston, SC to Savannah, GA · 10 h 8 m · 7.3 kn average · 14 Feb 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.
