Craig VanEaton and I sailed his Supercat 20 tall rig from Miami YC to Gilberts yesterday in 25 - 27 KNOTS gusting to 28 - 30, straight downwind. Survival mode, everything max depowered, nothing left to do but keep crew weight back and steer, rough ride.
Today is supposed to be the same or greater winds, but more of a reach, it will be interesting to see who starts, who finishes and who survives!
