We were westbound with 25-30 out of the E, tacking downwind with full main and 100% jib - hitting 12+ steady in a 39' custom. Made it from Sandwich,MA to New London, CT in 11h30m. Oh yeah, the boat is stable and steady - two fingers on the wheel. A pleasure! Neat thing is it doesn't feel windy - apparent wind is down to about 15, but the boat is going like stink!
