16 knots



Achieved 16.2 knots in a blustery F6 yesterday with Martin Caddy as crew. Only used the mainsail as the conditions were very lumpy, and we nearly pitchpoled several times. With luck we'll improve on this speed this season.

You can get a sense of what the conditions were like from a photogallery here. This sail has been entered in the Yachts and Yachting Speedfreaks Competition.
