Hurricane force winds
 

Listen to the winds on this video. From the sound of it I'd say it was
close to hurricane force. And the Mac26X takes it in stride...

Hurricane force winds
 

Good god, is that the genoa sheet pushing into the standing rigging
that looks to be flapping in the breeze? Your mast will come down
soon.

Oh, dear lord! The water is almost flat. Wind was probably less than
10 knots. The rigging needs some SERIOUS attention.


It's not much fetch there. You gotta have more space for the wind to
blow the water up into big waves. Just use your ears, you can hear how
hard its blowing. If it was out at sea probably the waves would be forty
or fifty feet.
