Another reference on a Weta videoclip to '25 knots'. Do you really sail single handed in 25 knots? I find that the boat is unmanageable in that windspeed in the presence of other boats (ie if you can't bear away or luff when you want to). Apart from anything else you cannot see anything in the spray. Or am I just getting old and weeny?

Several experienced sailors would have continued racing in those conditions and did not capsize however safety comes first, we did not have enough support boats to continue and it's not much fun bouncing around in a small start boat.
