Hypothetical question time...

Let's say you've got a magic box, with a dial marked from 0 to 50 knots. This controls the wind speed.

You also have the latest quiver from your favourite sail manufacturer.

My question is: "What wind speed and sail size would you pick, to make you go the fastest?"

Don't care. TOW 4.5-9.0 (9m recently deceased)

As long as I don't have to go below 4.5m in on/of conditions (hate swimming)4.5 powered up rocks.

love Tim the Toolman sailing
