So it's life back in the fast lane again...living on a roaring Volvo 70, fully stacked, fully loaded and just roaring across the chart as we sit on 20 odd knots...This happens to be the same as the wind speed..

Be good.
If you can’t be good, be careful;
And if you can’t be careful,
Name it after me.

All of the newer big raceboats will go to weather faster than windspeed up to around 20ish knots.

did you know that if you deathroll by the lee you can continue to sail the boat downwind from the centerboard if you manage to get the boom to stay in the air? it's also perfect for those right-leading-immediately-to-a-flip maneuvers. You should try it sometime. Originally Posted by laseranimal

yeah thats a neat trick, Originally Posted by seldon

This also works well to shut out the would be barger at the boat end if you're a little early because you misjudged your run.For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was
