Evolution clips

One day a small storm came in at Premantura, the wind was Yugo, know as a warm, humid wind creating good waves out in the open.
When the clips were shot the average wind was about 18knots, you can see the wave size for yourself.
The handling downwind was excellent, no drama. The only reason for not flying the a rigg is the inability or the poor ability(even with b rigg) to tack, when sailing upwind.
This is due to the low mass of the boat and the waves.
I don't know if anyone ever sailed an f5g boat in such winds. As the races are usually held on clam ponds.
Whatever, if such conditions arrive at a race i will be out sailing, having fun with my model yacht.
