We are doing 16-18kts boatspeed at 48deg true.... so its pretty good VMG!

The waves are quite big, and you can see the chase boat which is a 23ft RIB bouncing in the air on the waves while following us.

Leeward hull flying is really quick, the righting moment increase is substantial and the leeway is reduced as well. We have become more adept over the last few days at keeping it in the groove and now can sail those angles and maintain a speed upwind over 20kts pretty much all the time. When you see it first hand it really hits you that its moving crazy fast
