Understatement..
"'We anticipated the sea conditions. What surprised us today was the wind (14-15 knots top). We got more wind than expected. The loads on the boat shot up a lot. We tried all the systems under dynamic loading."

14-15 knots in 3 metre seas. I wonder if they'll ever publish the numbers. Twisting moment alone has to be significant.

I hope they do get to race it. That will be an event that I won't miss.
