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 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.”
