Shown here is my custom designed 40-foot racer/cruiser Soulmates. To get your frozen blood flowing in the midst of the northern hemisphere winter, here are a few clips of Soulmates jib reaching at 10 knots during the 2019 186-mile Block Island Race. Thanks to Rodger Martin who designed the boat and to Eric Goetz who built the boat in 1992, we can sail off the wind at great speeds effortlessly. Her UK Sailmakers Titanium sails have four seasons of distance racing, windward leewards and weeknight races. In a few months these sails will begin their fifth season. I can’t wait.
