(Gzira, Malta)- The gang from Malta were having fun sailing their fleet of J/70s in the
often epic sailing conditions they encounter in the middle of the
Mediterranean- 18.6 knots boatspeed!! Things get especially fun and
the amp-meter goes off the charts when they get the tail end of giant
mistrals that blow across from France and Italy, often churning up
enormous 10-15 ft waves and 40-60 kts winds from the NNW. Catch the
tail end of one of these on a spectacular sunny day and you can have the
ride of your life in 20-30 kt winds and ginormous left over waves!
Watch this video made by the Maltese gang (Christian Ripard steering with friends) on their J/70s ripping around the Med.
