Absolutely Tom! I recall racing against a sister ship, and we had a 40 mile trip to the next turning point. I sailed directly at the mark, while my opponent "cracked the sheets" and sailed just slightly off the wind and a little faster, and then tacked back at the end. After 40 miles, we were within two boat-lengths of each other (and he had a much more comfortable ride!) |

Just out of interest, here is a very short video of the tidal flow between lake and ocean. This is not yet at full speed of 9 knots! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypbNkBto ... e=youtu.be I don't think any of us could make any headway against that. |
