Doesn’t look like a top-regatta boat to me and I don´t like the way the crew is handling the spinnaker., The pole is too low and also too far forward. There´s no use for a downhaul, when the boat is not bigger than seen here.
Besides I very much doubt, that this boat is going 16,5 knots.
The Ylva/Decibel video, as mentioned below, shows how easily a real regatta boat manages strong winds
Bengun04 below mentioned an Ylva going 24 knots average speed. I can suggest the video Ylva + Decibel. Here you can see with which effortless ease a real regatta boat is to be handled in strong down winds, going >15 knots.
Apart from that, I like this video too.
youre right about the spinikere down haul so the up haul must be slack as well depends at what angle the pole is to weather which one wants tightening,also i noticed the mast is not raked (i.e the forestay has not been loosened off) forward this will give more depth in the spiniker and produce a better speed and makes it wasier to keep flying.
beautiful sailing, but shouldn’t the crew be harnessedto the boat ?
you have very little chance to be saved if you happen to fall in
on my boat that’s what we do
Beauty run! Just love it, been 23+ knots on a cat called Solar Heat (28′ racer just under 2ton), what a rush, now my friends and I putz around on a Catalina 27′ and lucky to break 7kts, still one the best feelings in the world to get pushed along by the wind, can’t get enough of it imho 🙂

lol the jib was just lying there you should tye it up if your not useinf ut
Now go sail a Laser–
Nice one lads, I love the video. Its hard to beat the feeling you get on days like that.
get an gennaker them drink a beer it would be alot easier
16.5 knot speed over ground maybe, but I doubt your speed through the water was anywhere near that.
Good video.
he’s getting all the speed from the spinnaker right?
you were going for holidays??
Guys you like like your enjoying this but your not really smoking along.
nice broach at start
Max I have ever has out of my Jeanneau 29,2 is 7 knots :(

Have tried to sail 30+ in an YLVA. With an average of 24+ for 3 hours.
