With a 15+ knot wind out of the west, Madsu was making 6 knots to weather under a 60% jib and reefed main.

Categories Uncategorized Big Heat Post author By bigsnit Post date August 17, 2012 No Comments on Big Heat A light wind, but a great afternoon on the water, escaping the heat of the city. While everyone else was motoring, Madsu was ghosting along at under 2 knots in a super light wind – but the sea was calm so the ride was fine.
