Sailing Japan. 28 knots true wind in 30 foot sloop

28 knots across the deck and steady as a rock. Two happy guys at the end of an eleven hour leg from Nishinomiya yacht harbour over to Ushimado yacht harbour. The day started with 35 knot winds but we didn't have a chance to video those. Bit busy sorry. By the end of the day we had some very nice 20 knot plus winds and had our boat sailing along very happily. http://www.smithweb.co.jp/

@opal1955 The BOAT is 30 feet, not the waves.

So where are the whitecaps?

[opal1955]

30ft? don't you mean 3ft? if you think you've got 7" going by your reckoning you're going to be real disapointed buddy
