Jed: I am familiar with the infectious enthusiasm such a new and amazing yacht can generate in its owners and crew, so thanks for sharing it with us.

I saw the new picture on your website, and OMG ... 29 degrees heel !!! Makes for great sailing shots, but sailing prep down below must be a nightmare...your chief stew must really love that!

MV is limited to 20 degrees heel by UK MCA. Do you have any limit imposed on you? I am jealous of your gybing process. We basically don't gybe, except in an emergency. And I know how frustrating it can be to take a while to tack. MV has to lower the main below backstay, but you have a different set of issues.

I have a technology question for you, which you (and Carl) may prefer to answer via PM. Given your owners' background I figured you would have excellent internet access, can you let me know what service/product you use. We are re-evaluating ours.

See you in S of France. We are hoping to see you the weekend before Monaco Boat Show, maybe for a joint day sail?
