"to windward at just over 6 knots VMG." That means only one
thing to a sailor.



Uh...Jeff. I don't know any sailors so stupid as to think "windward"
means as far upwind as possible...or even optimal. Windard means quite
a bit more than that and different things for different boats in
different conditions.
Lordy, you REALLY made an ARSE of yourself with this one.
Here's the bottom line, Jeff. We WERE sailing upwind, probably not
higher that 40 (My shot sails won't allow it easily without fuss.
Sorry, Jeff....you truly DID make an arse of yourself...and over
nothing.
