What that speed boat

Текст песни Mike WiLL Made-It – What That Speed Bout (ft. Nicki Minaj, YoungBoy Never Broke Again)

It’s the motherf*cking queen (30, you a fool for this one)
NBA YoungBoy, let’s go
Oh-oh
(Mike WiLL-Mike WiLL)

Can’t do buyin’ all the bottles, that you can’t do
‘Pose to be shining, but she notice that my chain do
Late night s*x, I wan’ see what that mouth do
Yeah, bounce that a*s, do it how ya mama taught you
Real made n***a from the trenches, do no pimpin’
I got seven figures bouncin’ in the car, it look like switches, uh
Let’s have a drink out, after that, we can leave out
I leave the club, drivin’ fast, baby, what that speed ’bout?

If you keep it real, say your needs, I’ll pay that cost
Ten thousand for her to go shopping, ain’t nothin’ to worry ’bout
If it’s a problem, get it poppin’, blow the curb out
I spend a whole day wit’ you, layin’ in the loft
Not one, not two, girl, you, I wanna see you take it off
Yeah, I’m everything you heard about
Tryna see what your world ’bout, word of mouth

Can’t do buyin’ all the bottles, that you can’t do
‘Posed to be shining, but she notice that my chain do
Late night s*x, I wan’ see what that mouth do
Yeah, bounce that a*s, do it how ya mama taught you
Real made n***a from the trenches, do no pimpin’
I got seven figures bouncin’ in the car, it look like switches, uh
Let’s have a drink out, after that, we can leave out
I leave the club, drivin’ fast, baby, what that speed ’bout?

Ayo, throw that bag, I’m a bad lil’ b*tch, n***a
Got every ex n***a mad and they big bitter
Diamonds on the chain, blingin’ off my t*ts, n***a
I hit his phone, he gon’ curve her like a pitch, n***a (Ooh)
Word to me, p*ssy good, so he been hooked (Mmm)
If he got seen out with me, it’s a big look
Word to Pop, body smokin’ like a big blunt
Some big d*ck only thing that a b*tch want
Left the lot, with a big body, thick t*ot
All my n****s in the spot, you could get got
This that forty vaccine, you could get shot
Since you wanna be stuntin’ like a big shot (Brrt)
This that pretty little j*int from the southside (Side)
F*ck a quarantine, all my n****s outside (Side)
If I’m sittin’ on your face, keep your mouth wide
N***a, go hard, but be gentle with my chocha

Can’t do buyin’ all the bottles, that you can’t do
‘Posed to be shining, but she notice that my chain do
Late night s*x, I wan’ see what that mouth do

Skrrt, vroom
She tell me «Face it, » I face it
I say «This metal that you ridin’, please cherish, don’t break it»
You wanna be my girl? Be real, you get put that placement
I’m here with my boy Mike WIll
I meant to say that’s who made it (Mike Will Made-It)
Uh, ooh, came through swervin’ through in a brand new coupe, with some Forgiato shoes
Real n***a, Blues Clues, if you sleep on that money, then you lose
I don’t snooze, you a fool, I’m the truth

Can’t do buyin’ all the bottles, that you can’t do
‘Posed to be shining, but she notice that my chain do

Product Prioritization: Speed Boat 🚤 ⚓️

Identify what’s slowing your product down

Welcome to ‘Product Prioritization’ — our series of tools, tips, and best practices for the skilled Product Manager to determine priorities and get results. Each month, we will highlight one of the dozens of popular methodologies and explain how to use it.

For our sixth installment, we take a look at a group activity called ‘Speed Boat’.

Venting can be therapeutic, and it and also be incredibly insightful for your product team. There’s valuable information you can take away from understanding what users or your teams hate in your product. The problem can be that complaints can in fast and furious and might not seem actionable.

It’s really easy to focus on the trees instead of the forest and fix a lot of ‘one-off’ things for each complaint.

Early in my career, and in the early stages of a SaaS startup, if an influential user would complain, we’d rally the troops to delight them with a quick fix. Being a young company, we valued individual client satisfaction at the cost of scalability and sustainability.

It wasn’t until later that I came to realize that the opportunity cost of delighting one client could sacrifice the happiness of many clients, especially when the customizations for clients meant that the product became bloated and slowed future development.

As I matured as a product manager, I was able to see complaints in perspective with the ecosystem of our product and industry. One great way to achieve this is with a prioritization technique called Speed Boat (I wish I used this back in 2008/2009).

What is Speed Boat and how does it work?

Get a group together in a room with a whiteboard. You can use a video call, but make sure you have a digital whiteboard that the group can interact with.

Now it’s time for the group’s participation. Have the group draw anchors and label them with the features they feel are slowing the product down and keeping it from being great.

*Bonus points if you want to have them use size to visualize how big of a problem the feature is to them. The bigger the anchor the more the feature is slowing the product down.

If people don’t like to draw, you can have post-it notes ready for them.

Why I like this exercise.

I’ve found this activity can be relaxing, therapeutic, helps with team bonding, and a visual representation of the product. Doing an activity like this also seems to take the aggressiveness/anger out of complaints.

What you’ll find is that most users, no matter how many complaints they have, still want to see the product improve and your role is to tap into that.

A few tips to ensure the meeting works well and the group stays focused:

Speed boat: an agile method to discover

Communication between individuals constitutes one of the keys to ensuring successful agile teams. There are several exercises that are very easy to put in place to initiate, stimulate and maintain this communication. One of them is the «speed boat» exercise (or «agile boat» to be more general). If your team isn’t yet familiar with this Innovation GameВ®, it’s time for them to get on-board!

The speed boat is one of the 12 Innovation GamesВ® designed in 2006 by Luke Hohmann to help organisations design innovative products through collaborative play. Used as a retrospective tool in the scrum, it can actually be used in any collaborative work.

The whole team is in the same boat!

The exercise takes the metaphor of a boat and gets players to think about what will cause them problems, or else help them move forward with a project. The speed boat is much more than just a game; it will enable collective intelligence to be brought into play thanks to the following visuals:

• The boat: this is the central element. It symbolises the team, regardless of the subject of the discussion (create a new product, achieve a successful transformation project, design another organisation, to name just a few).

•The island: this represents the objectives to be achieved (market release of an innovative product, establishment of a new organisation, improvement in a process, and more).

• The wind: this shows the strengths of the team. Just as the wind blows into the sails of the boat, the assets identified by the group will enable it to move forward.

• The anchors: these represent the brakes, the elements which will slow the team down.

• The reef: this element isn’t used in all speed boat workshops. When it is used, the reef represents the obstacles that might appear on the boat’s (meaning the team) path.Once established, all of these elements enable four main themes to emerge, recalling the SWOT matrix: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

The equipment required

The speed boat is a method which is easy to put in place. An exercise which is usually run with paperboards, felt-tips pens and self-adhesive paper, the agile boat can also be carried out using digital tools such as Klaxoon’s Brainstorm app.

The team chooses their own screen-saver to represent the boat, the island, the anchors and the wind. They can move their ideas around as the debates progress and access the matrix to modify it whenever they want, even if their members are not physically in the same room as each other.With the MeetingBoard, the team doesn’t even need a meeting room: the speed boat can set sail anywhere!

All hands on deck

A speed boat session may be broken down in two main steps: brainstorming followed by collective discussion.

1. Brainstorming session

Each person thinks about the different themes to be dealt with (objectives, strengths, brakes and obstacles). They then set out their ideas, position them on the visual medium (paper or digital) and explain them verbally.The ideas are positioned spontaneously. If one member of the team finds a particularly difficult brake, they will show it by placing their idea very low around the anchors. Conversely, if they feel that one of the team’s strengths provides a real boost, they will position their idea very high in the space which represents the wind in the sails.The exercise is an extremely rich one as it enables very different ideas to be collected according to each person’s area of expertise and their different personalities and sensibilities.Once each person has positioned their ideas, the exercise continues with a collectivediscussion.

2. Collective discussion

The visual medium provides the team with an overview of the project. It immediately identifies the points where their ideas meet up and the themes where debate is needed.The framework for the discussion is designed so that the group can search for solutions collectively from the ideas which emerge naturally. «How can we limit the elements which are slowing us down?» «What assets can we used to avoid the obstacles?»What’s the advantage of this method? The whole team takes part and shares a vision!Everyone says what they think, on an equal footing. The collective is mobilised and committed, without the project’s workload falling onto the shoulders of a single member.

3. Room for effectiveness and creativity!

The speed boat has the advantage that it can adapt to suit every need and desire. For example, you can decide to set a time limit for individual consideration (5 or 10 minutes) so as to speed up your workshop. To do so, just start a stopwatch running or activate the Klaxoon Brainstorm’s timer function.For an even more collaborative session, you can ask the team to design the boat’s matrix themselves.

Paradise island or desert island, small yacht or liner. the visual representation the groups makes of the project will enable them from the start to take note of how they will get to grips with the project and discuss it!

When to use the agile boat

You can use this collaborative workshop in any context and at any time.

During the project launch phase

Whether you want to build up a team, modify a communication plan or even develop a commercial strategy, the speed boat will get the team moving to define objectives. By sharing ideas and debating, the team will be able to identity the distance to travel between their current position (the boat) and the goal to be achieved (the island).

This work will be used to break the journey down into stages, into «small steps». It will also enable «external help» (as parachutes, for example) to be shown on the speed boat matrix, which throughout the project will enable the team to overcome any difficulties which arise from time to time. In this case, the workshop enables the team to have a vision for the future and to define an action plan, with tasks assigned to each person.

Throughout the project

The team may re-use their speed boat from one week or month to the next. In this case, the mast acts as a visual marker between the past and the future. The group examines what enabled them to move forward and what slowed down their progress.

It explores how to convert the brakes into accelerators, using actions they plan (for example, if the team notices that they have communicated poorly, they may decide to put daily checkpoints in place the next week).When carried out in this way, the workshop plays its part in an effective continuous improvement logic by pushing the team to work to take notice of their assets and to progress in their areas for improvement.

During the analysis phase

The exercise may also be carried out when a project is complete. In this hypothesis, the team is asked to look at how they worked. The speed boat then enables them to draw up an analysis, to ask questions of themselves and to learn from their experience.

3 of the world’s fastest speed boats

Blog November 26th 2019

Share this article

There is going fast and there is going crazy fast, these three speed boats very much fit in the latter category!

Problem Child

‘Problem Child’ may be an understatement for the fastest nitro drag boat in the world that boasts an incredible 8000 HP and can reach speeds of 262 MPH in just 3.5 seconds! Problem Child was the creation of Eddie Knox and Larry Bless. “Fast” Eddie Knox began his career in the sport of drag boat racing in 1989 behind the wheel of his own machine. The partnership was highly successful winning the 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Drag Boat World Championships and Problem Child holds the 15 quickest 1,000-foot elapsed times in history.

Bluebird K7

Considered to be one of the pioneers of speedboats, the Bluebird K7 was launched in 1955 and managed to record a speed of 276 MPH in 1964 easily breaking the 178 MPH record at the time. The K7 jet-engine hydroplane was designed by English brothers Ken and Lew Norris with the help of racer Donald Campbell who set seven speed records between 1955 and 1964 including the 276 MPH one. In 2018 restoration work on Bluebird was completed in 2018 and test runs reached speeds of 150 MPH, but for safety reasons, there are currently no plans to attempt to reach any higher speeds.

Spirit of Australia

Spirit of Australia is currently the world’s fastest boat with a water speed record of an eye-watering 317.6 MPH. Just to put that in context, Nascar and Formula drivers reach top speeds of around 200 MPH. Spirit of Australia was designed and built by Australian motorboat racer Ken Warby who holds the 317.6 MPH record that has been in place since 1978. The Spirit of Australia can today be found on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney. Ken and his son David have recently completed building the Spirit of Australia II, a more powerful vessel that is undergoing extensive trials with a record-breaking attempt targeted for 2020.

Add more speed to your boat

The Cox Powertrain project began with the vision of former Formula 1 engineer David Cox to create a lightweight diesel engine using F1 technology. This aim has led to the creation of the world’s most powerful diesel outboard engine, the CXO300. This 300 HP engine boasts better fuel efficiency, less maintenance, longer service intervals and most importantly, is much safer than petrol engines. Our CXO300 engine will add improved performance to your boat. To find out more contact us today or sign up for a demonstration to get a full idea of the power of the engine and how it works.

What is the Average Speed of a Sailboat?

So what’s the average speed of a sailboat? Most sailboats cruise at a speed of 4-6 knots (4.5-7 mph), with a top speed of 7 knots (8 mph or 13 km/h). Larger racing yachts can easily reach speeds up to 15 knots (17 mph or 28 km/h), with an average cruising speed between 6-8 knots (7-9 mph). Cruising speeds of over 8 knots are uncommon.

Different types of sailboats reach very different speeds. Of course, it all depends on wind conditions, current, and many other factors. Did you know that the speed of a boat is directly related to its length? The larger the boat, the faster it goes. I’ll explain it to you later on, but first, more on average speed.

In this article:

Factors That Determine Speed

So let’s get a little more into detail on sailboat speed. The most important factor in determining the speed is the hull type. I have two rules of thumb for you. The first is: the less of the boat is under water, the faster it goes.

Here are the average cruising speeds for different hull types:

The second factor is the length of the boat. It’s the second rule of thumb: the longer the boat, the faster it goes. Each sailboat has a maximum hull speed, which it can’t exceed (in theory). The hull speed is determined by the length of the boat.

Here are the maximum hull speeds for different monohull lengths:

The third and perhaps most obvious factor of course is wind direction and speed. If you plan a large voyage, for example, an ocean passage, make sure to check the dominant wind and direction for your time of year. You want to make sure to have as much downwind as you can get, and a favorable current as well. This is why most sailors choose to go eastward instead of westward when sailing the world.

Converting and Calculating Sailing Speed

How to calculate necessary sailing speed

So imagine you need to get to dock in time. It’s 50 miles away. You need to arrive at 2100 hours. It’s currently 1500 hours. Would be handy to know at what speed you need to sail to make it in time.

The formula is simple:

nautical miles / time = average speed necessary

Your average speed should be: 50 NM / 6 = 8.3 knots

Converting knots to mph and km/h

To convert knots to mph or km/h, simply multiply the knots by the ratio below.

1 knot = 1.151 mph
1 knot = 1.852 km/h

Calculating the Hull Speed of Your Own Boat

Great, we have a good general idea of what to expect from our trustworthy vessels. If you want to go deeper, you can try to calculate the maximum hull speed of your own boat. Calculating the maximum speed is actually very simple. Now is the time to get out your calculator.

You calculate the maximum hull speed (HS) by taking the length in feet (lwl), get the square root, and multiplying it by 1.34.

HS = Hull Speed
lwl = length at waterline

So a 80 feet boat has a maximum hull speed of:

Exceeding Hull Speed

A displacement hull has a maximum hull speed. Hull speed is a theoretical speed that tells us what the maximum efficient speed is. Everything above that speed costs a lot more energy. If you power your boat by engine, you can exceed the speed by pushing the hull over your own bow wave (this requires a lot of horsepowers though, and it isn’t good for your engine).

If you’re sailing instead, you can exceed your hull speed with the help of the weather. Let’s call these surfing conditions (sounds good). This might happen to you when you’re sailing downwind and the current pushes you forward simultaneously. This helps you to overtake your own bow wave. If this happens, the wavelength gets longer than the hull length: the water can’t get out of the way fast enough. As a result, the boat starts to plane, increasing water resistance at the front. Congratulations: you’re surfing on your own bow wave.

The increase in speed won’t be mind blowing however (about 1 knot). The truth is: a displacement hull is bound to its speed. It just costs to much energy to propel it through the water. It’s made to cut, not steamroll the water.

Amount of Nautical Miles

Sailboats don’t travel lightning fast, but they do travel 24/7. Because of this, they can cover quite a bit of distance. What distance are we actually able to cover with conservative speeds?

The average sailboat covers a distance of roughly 100 nautical miles (NM), at a speed of around 4.5 knots. This equals 115 miles or 185 km.

1 NM is 1.852 km or 1.151 mile

You can calculate the distance per day by simply multiplying the speed in knots by 24 hours:

Most sailboats cover anywhere between 100-180 NM per day. This means that a fast sailboat in ideal conditions can cover more than 200 miles. Impressive. However, anything over 180 NM is uncommon. We usually only see cruising speeds that high in races.

Here are the distances per day (NM) for different cruising speeds:

Related Questions

How fast can a sailboat go under power? The average speed of a sailboat under power is 4-5 knots (5 mph or 8 km/h). Most sailors switch to engine at sailing speeds below 6 knots, especially when on passage.

Can a sailboat sail faster than the wind? Sailboats with a planing hull (multihulls) can go faster than wind. Displacement hulls (the average sailboat) can’t beat the wind, or just slightly in surfing conditions.
