We were making almost 7 Kts Ken, 45 degrees upwind, Kinja handled it well. Nobody was moving our plan was to pick a buoy up at Guana Island no vacancy....onward to Marina Cay no vacancy, Trellis was a great alternative many new buoys.

Looks like an Island Packet 440? Love these boats. They sail so well in heavy wind.

Ja, we could have used an IP keel in weeks 2 and 3 of March! We saw 7kts+ on a reach with a reefed genoa on our Beneteau 40 with deep keel. They were frisky and moist weeks.

Cheers, RickG
