Vanquish sailing under storm trysail and number 4 jib

Saturday aboard Vanquish a a veritable world tour of sailing in a day.  The races started with a downpour of rain and thunder, turned into a light air beat, then a few hours of drifting in no wind, a short spinnaker run, followed by a beat into strong westerlies.  Top windspeed- 48 knots, and what a day to practice sailing under a storm try!
