Speed, last 7 days
average on each 4-hour leg
Knots on each bar. Gold = the fastest leg of the seven days. – = missed report. Days are UTC.
Daily runs
nm, noon to noon UTC
Each bar is one day’s run, noon to noon: 12:00 to 12:00 UTC, as a ship’s log keeps it, named by the day it ends. Gold = the biggest day shown. The record book’s best 24 hours is any 24 hours ending at a report, so it can exceed the biggest day here. ≥ = at least: the tracker missed a report inside that day, and the straight line across it is the least the boat sailed. – = the day cannot be measured: no report at one of its two noons.
