The trip from North Sound to Anegada is easy and only 14 miles.. if the winds are strong it will get you you there quicker because you won’t be beating.
Not sure I get it.... First, I don't know what strong wind has to do with sailing close hauled or not. Second, the OP is in a power cat. While I don't know much about power cats I'm pretty sure you can point them dead into the wind just fine. I'm always willing to learn about new things so please enlighten me.
