Ok. Apart from that,

you write it Graz without the "t"
After signing
Contract at the Boatshow, we have had a clause that the
Contract will only be closed after a satisfaying Testsail. So there we were on a cold but sunny February morning at La Grande Motte. Ready to embark an
Outremer 5X, with a good northerly Blow.
To make a long story short, the
Boat did very well under all circumstances.
Wind up til 25 Knots. The
Boat was reaching under
Jib and
Mainsail, we did easaliy 15 Knots, close hauled -top speed was over 10 Kn. Tacking was a pleasure, no matter which was Daggerboard down. The 5X is a real Pleasure to sail, and we always felt very safe.
So we were impressed and that is how it started.
Another Point:
We signed in 3 Days ago for the World ARC
