59 meters is pretty much out of the wake. Mythbusters showed 10% improvement at 100 feet; 100 feet is slightly greater than 1 second and is too close. 10% is not worth following too closely. It is amazing to me people on this thread (and other sites) still argue the safety issue given all this evidence to the contrary.
