You can see quite clearly when a wave rolls under the bow; in the previous video you can see quite clearly that the Benny was running faster than the waves. DSK |

How much faster do you think the waves are going in the 2nd (condo- maran) video? DSK |

Makes all the difference in the world when you can run before that sort of crap. Greg |

Very cool video, thanks for the link. I like the struggle getting the trysail set, and the wave impact that blows the guy off the windward rail & down the companionway.

Makes all the difference when you've got the design & rig for it. Those boats were specifically designed to sail well in those conditions, including to windward; you'll notice that they don't futz around with full keels or gaff rigs etc etc. You also notice that under trysail & storm jib (late in the vvideo) the boat is barely crawling along on a close reach. In those conditions, many boats couldn't make any ground to windward at all. DSK |
