Here's a 4 minute video of the Weta trimaran racing the Double Dammed race on the Colombia River, hosted by the Hood River Yacht Club.
This section is one of the windiest parts of the race at the hatchery with gusts over 35kts and big waves. After the jibe in this sequence, a big gust hits and the boat excellerates to about 20 knots boat speed.
There were 22 boats racing, all keelboats; Melges 23 & Moore 24. The Weta was the only dinghy/multihull entered. We were the third boat to finish with a time of 4:21.17.
David Berntsen (Sausalito, CA) and Ethan Salkind (Seattle, WA) sailors.
