That Picture was from 'Big Saturday' at Cascais. Winds were clocked up to 37knots.

The Irish Navy's "Sail powered submarine" prototype test was going suprisingly well.

Tom, that would be fine for the straits,

 

We have one sandbank that we normally race against when tacking up wind which isn’t really a problem only for those getting greedy to get out of the tide :-)Yes we sail in everything! I think we have only missed around 4 Wednesday night races this year due to the wind dying off.  Not had any been cancelled for being too windy and there has been some howlers! But we’re all mad :-) the best wind is the SW coming down the straits, most directions are fine it just gets a bit shifty coming off the land.
