Fast on Port, Too

Yup, just as fast on port tack.

From time to time we get funny mail. For example, yesterday we got one, the gist of which was, "I saw the Monday ‘Lectronic video of the MOD70 Orion sailing at 30 plus knots on Banderas Bay while on starboard tack. Is she as fast on port tack?"

We’ll let the following video answer that curious question.

The trimaran was sailing in the high 20s and low 30s in the video. Notice how it wasn’t particularly windy.

By the way, Orion left Marina Riviera Nayarit a couple of days ago, which means she should comfortably make it to the San Diego YC guest dock for sundowners on Friday, and be at Clipper Yacht Harbor in Sausalito a few days after that.

April wasn’t the best month for Scott Stolnitz of the Marina del Rey-based Switch 51 Beach House.
