So this spring I took on a major refit of my Swede 55. The boat got in the water late, and I've been busy ever since purchasing a new house, etc etc.
Anyway, I finally got out for a nice sail on Saturday. Wind was probably around 13 knots, and I just had two lady friends for crew. Seeing as though one was my pregnant wife I decided to throw a reef in the main.
Anyway, as this shot shows, we were hitting 9 knots (actually 9.5 was the top) on a nice easy reach... Good stuff, and it's amazing how fast this boat is sometimes.
