When I get back I will give a full report including photos and videos. We have been sailing consistently in 17 to 20n knot winds, with one passage up Drakes channel in 30 knots. We have been sailing with a double reef in the main and about a 110 jib, keeping the speed up to 7 to 8 knots.  ;D

This is the first catamaran for me and of course I don't think it points worth a dang, but actually with enough wind it does OK

More later

Well, Anne & I are in St. Barths now on our friend John's Pearson 36 Antares and will be heading on to St. Martin and then the VIs.  Perhaps, we'll cross paths....
