16.8 kts

Track of today's sail. Didn't get that far - 4.9 nm, but the conditions were hairy enough. Peak speed 16.8 kts. This might be our last sail this year, which would be a fitting end to an excellent season.

F6 on a Dart 16


Not the fastest sail, but boy was it blustery. Did 11.1nm in about 2 hours/ Maximum speed 15.5 kts, but that was reefed, and in fairly lumpy seas. Sarah and I pitchpoled quite spectacularly off the oil terminal at Yelland. A thoroughy exhausting, but enjoyable sail. We'll sleep well tonight!
