Siggi, please join us in our next 2 races coming up, March 15,16 at CCSC which is our Midwinter's, and March 22-23 at SSS, see the Windmill events on the web site. Nice job sailing in that crazy wind!

:: We are fairly new to this boat, sailed out in 20 kts
:: wind with 2+ ft waves today. At one point, the GPS was
:: logging tops 12kts when we were blown over on our side.
:: See @ 20 sec here

::
:: Boat was filled like a tub and waves going over, bailing
:: water was pointless. I had to jump in hold to the stern
:: and tiller. My 13 year old was staying in holding the
:: Jib, slowly pulling us to shore.
::
:: I was surprised about how filled the boat was,
:: practically unrecoverable in those conditions.
::
:: Comments?
::
:: Thanks.

:: Siggi
