On Saturday in Melbourne Australia the Taipan 21 set a new SAW record of 116 kph with a one way pass of 122 kph these times have not yet been ratified this boat was set up for cecuit racing and not for SAW.

We used a MAC 21 with a SPP td21 carbon pipe and a moded h4 prop running on only 50% nitro.

Paul,

Good job with a heat racing boat. 116KPH = 72.07MPH

122KPH= 75.80MPH

You should build a 21 SAW boat and see how fast you guys can go.

I wish you guys weren't so far away,I can't wait to test our SAW 21 boat

again. IMPBA record is 96.30 MPH so you can see what a 2 to 2 1/2 lb. boat will

do to your speeds. Paul next time try a 2047 or a V-947/3 and I'm sure your

speeds will increase.

Thanks For The Update,

Mark Sholund

Congrats Paul

real good oval boat..

my time was'nt allowed because the timing system was out by .001sec

which would have made the record at 124kph one way 126kph...

O well S##T happens always next year...

I run 166.8kph[103mph] with my 45 hydro

with a MAC45 ... it way only its first time in the water, but did'nt back it up

the sharft broke and damage the stuffing tube.

i broke the 67hydro record 159.7kph[99.5mph] one way 174.3kph[108mph]

bit off bad luck broke centre rear sponson and cause me to retire it...

congrats to all it was a great day

Hi all just to clear up a couple of matters concerning the posted results of the recent SAW meeting conducted by the RMBC of Vic. The first unratified record set by Paul Osmond has been made official at 117.646 kph with a fastest one way pass of 120.602 kph.

The Australian rules state that all SAW passes are calculated using two seperate timing systems recording each pass with a maximum difference of .3 of a second between each timer, greater than this is not allowed.

ie. 3.00 + 2.97 = 5.97 / 2 = 2.985 seconds. .1 / 2.985 x 3600 = 120.602 kph

Unfortunatly Aaron has only used the fastest single time of any one pass instead of using the average of the two times as above, resulting in pumped up incorrect speeds.

The correct speeds obtained are listed below:

Aaron Alberico 45 hydro. 161.073 kph one pass.

Aaron Alberico 67 hydro. 159.29 kph record. 166.28 kph one way pass.

Aaron Alberico 21 hydro. 121.416 kph one way pass. no legal two way passes because of timing errors. (Un-allowed pass and time)

Stephen Dunstan 16-25 gas tunnel. 99.31 kph record. 102.71 kph one way pass.

Tony Grinter 45 hydro. 129.49 kph record.

Tony Grinter 67 hydro. 167.44 kph one way pass.

Tony Grinter 80 hydro. 176.90 kph and 189.473 kph one way passes

Congradulations! Paul Osmond on your record!

Good job Tony on your One Way Passes! Nobody has ever gone that fast Down-Under!!!!

To bad some people have to fudge on their speeds to make themselves look faster than they are.

I also heard that someone announced that the B Hydro record was in the bag?

But the record is now under someone else's name
 
I will say it once again, congrats to Paul and all other members whom sucessfully made record passes. They are obviously well earned and deserved.

Keep up the great work, you've got some great speeds in there
