Beautiful boat, confidently sailed. I see teak decks and a low house - Swan like, maybe a Frers design? Nice helmsmanship, and it looked like you were having a good time. Cheers.

Fantastic!

30 kts max

That looks quite windy...

40 nodi, con raffiche a 50, onda relativamente corta e frangente, uno straccetto di fiocco a riva. Barca tranquilla, equipaggio pure. Complimenti, che barca è?

40 nodi, raffiche a 50, onda frangente e relativamente corta, solo uno straccetto di fiocco a riva. La barca sembra tranquilla, l'equipaggio anche. Non riesco a capire di che barca si tratta. Complimenti!

25 kts maybe.. 40kts is very different.

40 dont gust 50 , 40 gusts 60 evan 70 at times, probably force 7 or 8 , but hey there out there which is good sail on
well you all wiseguys,
this boat must have been doing 8+knots in a storm jib alone.
surely at the measuring point (10-15 meters high) it was blowing 40knots.
the waves are short, that's why it doesn't show , but check out at 0:52 why he turned off the camera

exactly. you don't get breaking waves in 20 kts of breeze.

Someone should teach Valenciabruce about apparent wind. That boat is moving about 8+ knots, so if you think it's 25 knot sounding the wind is actually moving around 35+ Knots. To move that fast with the Jib Stormed down, that wind had to be blowing pretty good. And you know what Valenciabruce, who cares they are having fun, just like I do when I go sailing.

ya know, you're not the first to make a comment like that, i realise it doesn't look all that crazy. and it wasn't. 40kts and 12-15 ft seas on your stern quarter is really no big deal. but why would i just make that shit up? you think i need to impress you?
