speed? what would you lose, 1/8 kt? Maybe get to the

Spoken just like an idiot who doesn't sail. You'd lose more than 1/8
knot and also speed on all points, close hauled ability and so on.
Start that engine, Scotty.
Oh, that's right. You're not sailing again this year!!!

6 minutes is 6 minutes when you're out battling the forces of OPB's...Mr
Sails unofficially pits our boat against others out there to see what
the max for the day is....hey...it's his game...he likes it...I just
tweak when things need to be tweaked...
