Industrial strength Walvis Bay prevents run for Vestas Sailrocket 2
We took VESTAS Sailrocket 2 across the lagoon at low tide to try and get through the weather window... but it appears we hit the window frame. I set 32 knots as our absolute limit. It hit this as we were just preparing to raise the wing.
