The J-70 is a great boat.

Foredeck work on a J70 will do that to you.

As a skipper once told me "Two boats heading in the same direction is always a race".

If you zoom the vid, you can see the speedo: between high-8s to over 11. Good job of sailing in modes, several speed burn/build sequences. The vid starts in burn mode, nice long sustained burns, this is how you do it.

I was thinking SOAR inflow race (or whatever it's called) as well! Very fun in a Melges 24.

Sweet, haven't been to gorge since pre covid. Was always on our hit list with the Melges 24.
