🔥18 Knot surf 🏄‍♀️ 💦 Spinnaker in 30 knots #ourladydefiant #yachtracing #spinnaker #liveaboardlife

We're blasting across the Monterey Bay in Spinnaker Cup 2025, and after dipping out bow dude into the water by plowing the boat into the backside of a wave, we start to surf and hit out boat's speed record: just over 18 knots. Check out the full video to see all the fast sailing we did that day, averaging about 13-14 knots across the Monterey Bay portion of the race with a top wind speed of about 35 knots, all with a big A2.5 masthead spinnaker up.
