About 25 knots wind, broad reach. This was the middle part of a leg were we
did about 8.5, waypoint to waypoint.

Had the seas been flatter and the wind a bit closer we would have done a knot or
two better. With more sail we've held over 12 knots for extended reaches.
However, that was before we filled the boat with crap. Now things have to be
perfect to see 11 knots.
