The boat was a Baltic 47. It's a cruiser/racer. I understand that this boat (SV Momentum) won it's class in the Newport to Bermuda last year. I hear that the owner is a lawyer in Philly and he races it all over the place. It's a semi-custom build. I doubt you'll see another one around. The boat sails beautifully. Coming up the bay close hauled in a gale and I was doing 8kts and had less than half a spoke of weather helm. (we did have 2 reefs in the main and only about 8 or 10 feet of jib rolled out).
We were just using cruising sails (she's got a full inventory of racing sails) Once you get over about 10kts of wind she'd do 50% of wind speed close reach. I think she makes hull speed at about 16 kts. My watch crossing the stream I made 40kts by GPS on a 4 hour watch the aparent wind at about 60 to 80 so I wasn't surfing.
Yea, by Neptunes grace we crossed the Stream on Friday, Saturday on they were looking at 40kt+ winds out of the NE (read nasty flat faced/breaking swells) and a 20ft+ swell and I don't think its down yet. I might still be hove too on the other side waiting to cross.
I was delivering the boat to Oxford, I jumped on a plane 4 hours after I got to the dock.

How I spent my Summer Vacation.
The first day of my summer vacation, I got up and looked for a job. I didn't find a job so I hung out at the drug store.
The second day of my summer vacation, I got up and looked for a job. I didn't find a job so I hung out at the drug store.
The third day of my summer vacation, I woke up and looked for a job. I found a job, keeping kids from hanging out around the drug store!

There's nothing like spending time on the open ocean. Looks like a blast.
