Hello Rob and gang,
Take a look at this film from 1929. It was posted on the F-Boat group
forum. Do you think the Harryproa can sail in such conditions?? This
is most fantastic sailing account with a first hand narrative I have
ever seen. It is claimed that boat is going 16 knots at one point. I
had no idea a square sailed ship could go this fast.

Happpy sailing,
