IP35 Beats a Sabre 42

What a GREAT day for Island Packet. I hoisted sails with a Sabre 42 at G5 Rock Hall heading for Annapolis. Winds were 15 to 20+ the course was CLOSE HAULED! This IP35 beat the Sabre to the Annapolis Bridge. We even had a single reef in and he was full sail. Don't ever say that an IP35 can not sail close hauled. We had the B&G pilot set to hold a wind angle of 38 degrees. The 135 jib was FULL, and we had a single reef in the main. The sails are 1994 original! UNREAL.
