Brisk sail in up to 32kt winds port reaching. Top SOG speed of 9.8kts with an average speed over 8kts with just the Genoa up! No swell to speak of so Thistle was in her element! we were heading in the same direction with x2 other boats so it was a race..... we won! 😇

great day sailing on a broad reach, 17kts 1m Sea. awesome.

Very broad reach with confused Sea from same direction (SSE). Good when it was 20kts as it kept the sails full, not so good when under that. It was a nice sail but I had to stay on top of the wind shifts and strength, making adjustments accordingly to stop sails flapping in the breeze.

Brilliant sail in 12-15kt breeze on a reach/ broad reach. Saw a whale 150m off our starboard side 20 minutes into the sail. Sea was calm. champagne sailing!

Sea was calm, zero wind, motored all the way. Saw x2 whales, one breached behind us.

very light wind. sailed in the morning a bit, then motor sailed, then motor only.

was a long day. wind was shifty and we were heading into it more than expected. Sea was calm and wind was max 16kts.

Good sailing conditions. we fished along the way and caught a couple of small skips and one yellow fin that we kept.

The wind was up to 30kts and constant 25+. swell was small but chop was relentless! uncomfortable sail but uneventful in whole.

Sea was messy, no real swell most of the times but it was brisk wind of up to 26kts on a reach to start with, then a close haul. Wasn't completely uncomfortable, but it wasn't the most comfortable either. Good average speed however.
