I’ve had a few folks ask me “What is the speed of the P&H Cetus MV?”. My general answer is depends on how hard your paddling or in other words Your Mileage May Vary.
Not that I’m up to race speeds yet this year but below are a the results recorded by the Motion X application on the iPhone paddling North against the tide and back with it.
2/22/12 High Tide 1:24pm of 3.57 feet Low Tide 7:46pm -0.42 feet Ebbing Current 1.78mph. Weather : overcast with South winds 7-11mph light non-cresting chop. Equipment : Mitchell Black Magic 215cm wood/carbon hybrid euro blade high angle paddle
Note: I did need to stop by the Vanderbilt Estate to strip off some layers as overdressed for the exertion level.
