Several times when I was out sailing this morning, we hit 2.4 knots.

Whoa

Sailing is like cycling - sometimes in pursuit of top speed, first or shortest time we miss the whole point. A gentle and relaxing sail in great surroundings and weather is my definition of success.

we’re a bit busy when it’s windier than this.

Warm Summer evening light wind, just out on the water for the pleasure of it, 3.4 knots on the log.

Good grief! All that yelling and dashing about. I haven't been that fast in my car.

With your vast experience you appear to have learned very little. You need a Westerly. Regardless of wind speed and direction, they regularly exceed their hull speed. Fasten your seatbelt and prepare to be amazed

I thought that ultra fast experience only happened in an Anderson 22

Everyone knows that a Snapdragon is very nearly as good.

Seems to have been very quiet on the A22 front for a good while. The void has been filled by two other boats vying for the accolade of best boat for absolutely any characteristic one cares to mention

So Westerly is the new Anderson?

I think they fit the bill as far as the worst cabin headliner ever

So you want to experience sailing a Westerly slowly, well watch my Fulmar doing this. Bet most of you would have turned the engine on instead of enjoying the tranquility on the Medway. For about 8 miles, starting at about 3 knots and ending at 1 knot, with the tide underneath me as I made my way up river. The water was glassy smooth without a wind ripple. Not another boat moved on the river. A truly magical day on the water that was so memorable and luckily I captured on video.

Do you sail on British rivers or just go through the motions......

About 80 West of Finisterre, not a breath..

I have the same picture in about the same position

I have the same picture in about the same position

I haven't got my log handy but it was early June 2012 and about 80 miles West of Finisterre, I was South bound.
Sea like a mirror.

And then it all went downhill and next day I had this for 24 hours.
