Sailing from Coccos Keeling to Perth WA. 1750kn into the SE trades. All on the nose.
30kns of wind with a strong current and 2 metres+ seas..
The best we could get was 120 to the wind for the first 12 days.
We were aiming to sail a course of about 130 the best we could get was either 10 or 250 degrees. Not the direction we wanted.
Apart from having two hulls slamming for every wave.
Give me a heavy monohull anytime.
