We will post a lot more videos, but this is a shot of Freebird leaving the Bahamas for the sea trial just prior to when we made plunge to acquire her.
Nine knots on wind power is good and you can see that on the instrument. This is just over ten miles per hour. Most monohulls are happy to hit six knots.
Dave said he once sustained 18 knots for a long period on Freebird, which would be sailing at over 20 MPH!
