13 February 2015 | Between Plettenberg Bay and Mossel Bay
South West wind 12 - 16 knots Swell moderate for the coastline +/- 3 m with short period


Pointing under 40 degrees to the wind, heeled over close to 40 degrees and doing 5,5 - 6 knots in 12 - 15 knot winds. Pointing at 45 degrees had us doing up to 7,5 knots. We needed to pinch in order to time it right and be properly positioned.
