Nice pictures Simon, but it still goes back to steering. You could have just turned a little lower in that picture where you were onboard and it woulda seemed like a walk in the park. It's not even white capping ..............

But it would be slow.
GPS plots
suggest I'm doing about 3-5kts faster on the wire and sailing the same course as the apparent goes forward.
I agree, when it's to windy for wiring it's time to go deeper, but I'm hoping to get to the point when I can wire down wind in most
racing conditions.
When I was sailing my Inter 17 (EU Spec) wiring was faster over about 10kts compared to the other 17 I was racing against most weekends until I could not control the boat from the wire.
I think the GC will be interesting as some believe woring is fast, some do not - hopefully we'll get an answer!
Edit to add, wind was light, about 12kts.
