Running in the Pace 17 Tour

Rob had the new Tiderace Pace 17 Tour out yesterday on his weekly Tuesday paddle. Conditions were 17-30knots, generating a sea up to 2m running over a well set easterly swell. Perfect for testing the downwind capabilities of the boat, which didn't disappoint…

 In the week since receieving our first shipment of the Pace 17 Tour we have had the boat out on dead flat water to gauge it's terminal hull speed, in some small surf, bounce & rebound typical off our local cliffs, and now also tested it in some decent  downwind stuff. 

 We'll have some video up later in the week.
