Absolutely, would blow the board away otherwise. Still , 15Kn+ at
least. A rush for us mono hullers. By the way, check out the size of
the sail on the board.

Cool but a con.
Notice the huge slab out of the tri. She's just out for a sunday sail.

That's not so. The top speed of the Bayer monster would not touch a
windsurfer (+45 knots). In that video the board is sailing under powered
with a big sail.

Well the top speed of the Bayer is about 27k (I'd guess) and most boards
do that all the time.

Tell me MC, what "windsurfer" reaches 45kts in other than perfect
conditions for its record attempt?

The Bayer mosnter will never do 45k in any conditions!

Nor will a windsurfer in the conditions shown in that video.
Theywere playing around, no contest no matter what the blurb says.
