Just picked up my new boat from VMG. Pat and Anita did an incredible job--it is simply gorgeous. Because I'm constantly asked "what's the fastest speed recorded on a Swift Solo, I now have the answer (87 Miles an hour--see picture below). In addition to that, this Swift set a new distance speed record by covering 2300 miles in 51.5 hours. Actually, I did learn that cartopping the Swift is much easier than I had realized. Prior to this trip from Michigan to Seattle, I had only cartopped when I was also pulling my van trailer. I would recommend this method to anyone with a mid to large sized SUV over trailering. It allows you to get the boat up high -- away from the road grim. It would be easy to attach the mast under either side of the roof rack (you'll need to run a line from the mast tip to the front bumper). The cradle can be carried on the boat. The down side is that you do need someone else to help you get it on top of the car. Something to think about. Bram
