Default Never run downwind?

Sounds like you don't know what the f*ck you are doing.

75 miles off and return in 3 days? That's 50 miles a day?
Wow, now that's fast!

This post proves that Ganzy knows nothing about sailing.
Think about where I am, Ganzy. Now imagine that I leave Saturday at 8:00

am and
I need to return Sunday night.
Think about Hells Gate...can't exactly turn it when I want, now can't I.

Now
imagine that winds are low and I don't want to motor the whole trip.
75 miles offshort and back assuming a direct VMG would be 150 NM plus

waiting
for the tides and possible uncooperative wind to make the gate both ways.
Hmmmm. Sounds like I did my homework.
