Hi Rob,
The speed was 9-12 knots and the wind speed was estimated 9-12m/s. We reefed soon after taking this video. we sailed 7-8 knots with main only.
Yes we visited the multihull gathering at Stockholm.
We also took part on the race 11 miles banana-shaped course. Our postion was 33/34, so second last. Bad start and a copule of irons. Our speed was good but shunting is not comparable to "normal" upwind sailing, so we lost several positions at each turn. Our upwind angle was top class. The other participants could not figure out where we wanted to drive at shunts near the marks, so some tight situations and almost collisions.
We wont the prize for the most original and radical design.
Regards,
Arttu
