I would have like to have looked at the view fo'ward.
Length was 12 metres. We ended up in a wind force 10 gale at night, sails were down to absolute minimum. The skipper said it was the worst storm he had experienced in 40 years of sailing, and had been afraid we wouldn't make it. Such storms were not supposed to happen that part of the Atlantic in July.
