Hi, Here in the Caribbean we regularly have winds over 20 knots. On "Blue Peter" we have had our North Main re cut twice to get it flat enough. Partly because of the rateing system we use here we only sail with a 110% Jib, mostly because we do not need any more. we also like to race with 7 on board. With our heavyest at B-Max. in this configuration we are usually going up wind about 6.2 Knots SOG on the GPS. All of this with quite a comfortable helm.
