(Porto Cervo, Sardinia)- According
to the skipper, “we were going around 14 knots downwind when another
boat broached just ahead of us, we pulled up higher and higher until we
were nearly broaching ourselves.The gennaker trimmer had no idea anything had happened so he kept responding to the skipper’s commands to let the sheet out with: "why?? the kites flying awesome!"
We were able to narrowly avoid a collision, thanks to the great steering and cool head of our skipper! Top speed was 15.8 kts on that run.” Watch YouTube J/70 sailing video here Add to Flipboard Magazine.
