The closest wind site at Alligator Reef Light was showing average wind speeds 35-38 gusting into mid 40's and peak gusts to 50 mph. It was stupid windy !
It's about 81 liters. The Seatrend 260 is 86 I believe and too fast. I needed something that I could try and control. I have an 82 liter JP super-x that I sailed the day before, but it also is super fast and gets hard to control. The Maui project has a thin tail and a raised pad in the middle by the fin that keeps it controlable to a point. I needed a 3.2 and a multi-fin setup. ha ha
@@jimikrikit Yeah, good deal on the 4.0 though... can't beat that price especially if it's never been wet! Smallest sail I have is a 3.7 but sounds like I still would have been a bit overpowered out there with that on the 260 and probably bouncing all over the place. Definitely helps to have the right gear in that kind of wind even on flat water. 🤙
