We happened to be heading up from Jolly Harbour to Falmouth yesterday. The superyachts were out racing. We passed one of the marks with all the boats heading our way. We managed to keep out of their way. Incredible to see Hetairos going past under full sail at 17.8kts. They gybed around the mark under full sail minus the mizzen staysail thst they furled and unfurled as they rounded the mark. For a 218ft yacht weighing 220 tonnes, she was surprisingly nimble. orca-image--636602737.jpeg
