40 Knots in an ILCA: Full Send in Gale-Force Wind

40+ knot winds, a 12 foot boat, and all you can do is send it. Here’s what it looks like sailing an ILCA 6 in 40 knots of wind at. It was 35 knots when we rigged up. As soon as we launched it spiked to 45... So we decided to send it We did a 45 minute upwind then a 5 minute downwind because it was simply too windy to stay out.
