Left last Sat PM on a Farr 395 with 7 guys to return a boat to its home port after the Newport-Bermuda race.

We got beat up quite a bit.
Sustained 30 knots of wind with gusts over 40 with seas at least 20' for about 36 hours, motoring under storm stay-sail.
Total trip was about 110 hours.
During the trip we had:
Significant water in the bilge that we had to bail buy bucket as all 5 pumps had problems.
Deck instruments failed.
Engine warning buzzer was on for a day and half.
Ran down to less than a quarter tank of fuel.
Sound like a sledge hammer on the hull as the boat hit waves (needs to be checked for structural damage)
Misc. electrical stuff was on the fritz.
Pumps didn't seem to work properly.

As soon as we cleared Montaulk we had a perfect night sail all rest of the way.
