# >30KNOTS CHALLENGE

28.7 knots. Adrenaline is kicking in. All your senses are full-on. 29.4. You feel the water getting stronger. The wind has become an enemy. 29.8. On eye on the water. On eye on [MAX](https://sailmon.com/max/). 30 knots. This is sailing. Keep an eye on our socials for more >30KNOTS speed devils or become one yourself!

Team DutchSail (34.9)  
“Downwind we were already going 29-30 knots and then I saw a gust coming in the corner of my eye and I just thought: this is going to be slippery. I had to squeeze the rudder as hard as possible to keep steering well and then the boat just kept accelerating. With my one eye on the clock (the Sailmon [MAX](http://sailmon.com/max) ed.) and the other in front of the boat, the data showed: 34; 34.7; 34.9. But then suddenly the rocks appear in front of you and you see a controlled rise at that speed to a downwind course.”
