The wind looks fairly light (although remember that this boat is 120+' LOA, which distorts the scale) and the boat is heeling 12 ~ 15 degrees... but look at the wake. Obviously the boat is moving well. But is it "powered up"? No it isn't. She's not near her hull speed (look at the stern) and the wind is light. I'll be she'd be closer to hull speed when heeld to 25-30. Cheers |
