In this video we're sailing upwind in 35+ knots of breeze in Johnstone Strait during the VanIsle360 race with a double-reefed main sail and storm jib.
A crew member is on the foredeck securing the #3 jib we had previously been flying in the short video https://youtube.com/shorts/VRAEp8M49Y4, but ripped in half. The head literally ripped right off. He is wearing a harness and tether!
The sky is completely blue, but everybody is still completely soaked from the spray.
Lots of sails were destroyed in that leg, including the #3 jib that is now on the foredeck.
