Max Speed and sailing 😅 mistakes

The last Wednesday race of the summer brought gusty easterly winds, flat water, and plenty of action. With reefs in the main and a smaller gennaker, we pushed hard on a triangle course that included a downwind start, a long upwind leg, and a fast beam reach to the finish.

📌 What you’ll see in this video:

Tactical decisions at the start line – including a risky port start gone wrong

Sail handling challenges: gennaker, Code Zero, and reefed main

Reaching top speeds over 15 knots on flat water

Close competition against XP38, CB66, and Aphrodite 25

Onboard mistakes that cost us valuable time (like taking down sails too early)

Lessons learned from downwind speed, wind shadows, and upwind strategy

A thrilling finish and reflections on what to improve next time

This video shows the highs and lows of racing: the excitement of max speed sailing and the frustration of tactical errors. Perfect for sailors who love club racing, performance sailing, gennaker/Code Zero setups, and learning from real race mistakes.
