We changed the main sail in 2010 for a new full batten, kiwi made main sail.
With this main sail up, under perfect conditions, Graine d'étoile sailed up to 8 knots for 12 miles in sea trial in
new caledonia lagoon
(we were in competition with
jeanneau oceanis 475 and not far behind).
Who said that lifting keels are against performances?
