Sailing Speed Record

Lol, head cams in the post - will go out on windy days, and GPS tends to go out all the time (it doesnt weigh much!)

ps - ur forgetting a buoyancy aid in the chek list, another rashie, gloves and boardies   But ill let you off

Ok, one last comment - it was a 45 knot squall, so it came in. Prior to that was not so strong, and weymouth is always flat water - duno if youve ever sailed there. Its a gorgeous place to sail, personally my favourite in the UK! + we already the had the kite up when it hit, so all we had to do was run it out. Ive sailed in high winds, 35+ odd knots in plymouth sound only me and a very reefed open 60! very high winds on the solent to borrowed my dads vareo - pitchpoled it twice and bent the pole, another SMOD error in that silly little hoop for the pole! Im not saying big wind is a gentle strole in the park - its WINDY! and yes the spray hurts like FOOOOOOOK (but with wrap around glasses spray dont get in ur eyes)! But anyone whos met me will be able to tell you im a bit of an adrenaline junkie & Love the strong stuff with big waves!!

If anyones the same - come to plymouth on a windy day and go out past the breakwater. Big swell, little boat. its fun!!!

oh yer ps - my old boat was carbon/kevlar and actually bullet proof! During a mega pitchpole I swung round and hit the hull - Broken rib but no damage to the boat! So it could take a pounding!
