What type of boat are you sailing.

I sailed in a Tornado regatta that blew 36 average, gusting 42 (confirmed). We ran very deep under kite, keeping both hulls in the water, crew on trap as far back as possible and myself leaning over the rear beam. Kite was eased a long way, main was sheeted reasonably tight with only a slight twist.

Gybes were ugly though. Only moving a few degrees through them and battling to keep the windward hull down after the gybes.
