The day when those photos were taken had to be probably the most fun day I've had sailing so far, 4 1/2 hours of just enough wind to get to where we going and then 1 hour solid of adrenaline, out on the wire reach, all the way home, see a boat up ahead, 10 minute later they were behind. What a load of fun it was.
Mayne, and remember we only went 1/2 distance.
I've done full distance when windy and sailed OUT with the kite up all the way to Walton in 80 minutes, and we SAILED UP to Osea from the Club line first. We were sailing a Hurricane59 with a Spi mind!!!
