Did you get up to 13.7K in a 2000 - no wonder you came 7th.

Watch out! Don't talk to Luke like that, he's my friend!

But I still find unnerving the fact that, in a blasting reach with the spinnaker up, boat planing, coming down on the rest of the fleet, the helm tells you happily "We're doing 13.7 knts!"

Just..... just........ watch where we're going!!!!

Indeed.

Big wind (any guesses?). Nice and steady though.

They'd evidently had the kite up (it's hanging out of the chute at one point), but didn't film it apparently... But would they have gone any quicker? Thrust/sideforce of a kite would have been worse, after all, and they're already way off the wind...

the 2000 is a little speed machine. we got 15.1 knots the weekend before. i think tight reaching with the spinni up is the way to go.

we will have to see how the 4 tonner goes next weekend with our new mast  

those 505 vids are quite ammusing i like the one in the middel on the right cos they look like they are in control to me.
