13-14 m/s (26-28 kn)

For most sailors, this is survival.

The Sheet tight, the boom touching the deck.

The traveller is set all the way out, touching the side tank

Inhaul: touching the mast

Cunningham: max - extra tightness will bend mast top in the gusts.

Outhaul: max. tension

Centerboard: angled backwards, front raised to deck level.

Mast rake: 3-5 cm back, more forward if the mast is very soft (see discussion in Trimguide 9-10m/s)

Note how much Margriet Matthijsse is leaning back her mast on a breeze day in Hyeres.Lots of rake opens the leech, depowering the top/front part of the sail. She's effectively sailing with a "reefed" triangle whose top lies somewhere around the N in NED. The very top of the sail, backwinding, is actually supporting the boat, providing extra righting moment.
