This was a trip up Southampton Water to the River Hamble. SotonMet logged it as F6 gusting F7. We were double reefed on the main with about 4/5 rolls in the jib. The wind was strong enough that we struggled to motor mainly because of the short chop. She sailed extremely well though, tacking all the way - 14 miles or so in total.

Another short clip from Bottom Up Boats features some intense sailboat action! This yacht race includes some very close calls, and the video shows the intensity of the competition. There's even a tense moment where someone mentions potentially crossing a line.
