    Ok all. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. This is a culmination of discussions we have been having for quite some time within our group. One of the bigger complaints we have had concerned the range in our speeds. The below chart shows the results of those discussions.

    So what we do is have our speeds grouped in 2 knot per second increments instead of 1 second increments. Here would be the breakdown:
    Knots Seconds
    20-21 32
    22-23. 31
    24-25 30
    26-27 29
    28-29 28
    30-31 27
    32-33 26
    34-35 25
    So with the chart, we are looking at a minimum fleet speed of 32 seconds and a maximum fleet speed of 25 seconds as opposed to the present minimum fleet speed of 38 and a max of 22. Our speed grouping will be 7 seconds instead if 16.

    Through the feedback I have from those shareholders in the group it was unanimous that we at least look at this for a season. So we are proposing to run with this speed chart for next season under R&D and see if it's viable. I will eventually upload the revised ship list with the new speeds soon.
