20nkts?.. flat water, good helm, right wind strength... you'd get close to that. But it's not an everyday event.

It's not a boat that is ultimately about outright speed. But it's a boat that feels speedy. Which is really whats important.

Why did I spend all those years messing up my knees hips and back hiking when I could have been doing this?

  Need to tighten the out-haul a tad perhaps

NATIONALS CANCELLED DUE TO EXTREME WEATHER (21st/22nd Oct - Lyme Regis S.C)

Very strong winds and big swell have meant we have had to call off the first UK Farr 3.7 Nationals. We will be rearranging for next year. On a positive note this gives those building the Winter to finish there boats for the Nationals!

Shame, can often be all or nothing this time of year, autumnal storms or dead still and fog.
Serious question because although I'm not in the market for a third boat I like your enthusiasm and trapeze boats, how many do you up and sailing now?
BTW. Would Lyme Regis have been local to most or are they spread over?
