Well the Monacoshow is just finished so here is an update.
We had a great show, I met many people I had not seen for a while, the MF signed up a few charters for winter in the carib and summer back in the med next year. and there was some good parties.
Everyone was raving about MF, it was very good to hear. I even managed to get to the top of M5's mast to take photos, now that is a very big mast!!
Sunday we had a little day sail with M5, very entertaining and it showed that both yachts are better at certain angles but MF is probably faster overall as we have no restrictions on heel angle and a longer waterline length helps a lot!!
We are now between Monaco and Mallorca, south of the gulf of Lyon, looking for wind to try to beat our record.
We found it, outside it is blowing 40Kts plus, a full blown Mistral. Unfortunately with huge 6m swells so we cannot fly too fast and have reefed down to one sail. Still we are doing 13 Kts very comfortably and should arrive in Menorca in about 6 hrs.
See you all out there
Regards Jed
