Speed...
Hello, last weekend I've just installed a new speed log. We did 6-7 knots upwind on 9 knots winds and 5-6 running (no spin), we were sailing with old sails, the crew was myself on main sheet and tiller and a friend that it's his 2nd time on board (so genoa was poorly trimed at most of the time). Other passengers included my wife and daughter and his wife.
I was gladly surprised about this. My boat is a Merit 25 with 20 lwl. I would say that if I use my newer sails I could be doing very close to 8 knots or maybe wind speed.
What's the typical speed for a boat like this?
Thanks
