Anyway, this is us, upwind in about 20 knots, in an Open 60 on Sunday.  Was a very surreal feeling actually being there and witnessing the power of these boats first hand.
 
 
Cool. Is that Mr White's boat?

Mr White's indeed. Water ballast and fixed keel...I know they've come on a bit, but by no means slow. And don't forget, he made it round and came home 8th, unlike some of the newer faster boats!

Honestly?
 
Pretty dull.
 
You forgot to mention when rigging your sail on the ground to watch out for dog eggs.

well Jon's video had my cadets racing to see who rig up fastest at the weekend.  Made a change from them all dithering about, so brownie points from me.

looks like he could do with a lot more main sheeted in in my opinion, but then he'd have to hike more and I'd guess he's probably had enough of hiking having hiked all the way up the lake. I think this will be the shortfall of these boats, too much hiking

Yeah, pesky hiking boats. I'm actually glad when I go around the leeward mark as it means I can have a rest again...
