Just for your information
We have sailed over 6500 Nm since July 1st (over 70% sailing)
Our top speeds have been 19.6 Kts motoring during sea trials and 20.8 Kts sailing. we regularly cruise at over 16 Kts and once completed the trip from Corsica to Italy at over 17 Kts for 5 hrs plus
We have completed over 5000 individual sail sets and furls with only three minor problems and have only had to remove 1 sail during the whole season.
We fly the pennant as a mark of pride for our yacht and all who were involved in her conception and construction. I believe that it is supposed to signify distance travelled but it was designed to look appropriate to the size of the 'Falcon' and so ended up that length.
Cheers jed
