This a link to a short video clip of racing this summer.
There was a wind warning for the Bay of Funding SW 25 kts gusts to 40.
The race committee decided we would stay inside the harbour protected by the breakwater.

Winds fortunately stayed at 20 kts with gust to 30.... Waves were minimised by the break water until the last mark where the waves were very steep and about 10 to 12 feet...
It was a good rush :). Main had one reef and I was using a 135 genoa.
