Blown to 121.06 km/h

I am not into sailing, but this looks like fun. HiTech lightweight gadgetry and machinery rarely fails to impress, especially where speed is involved.

Water and speed combo frightens me despite it is usually softer than blacktop.

At that speed, hitting the water would be very little different from hitting blacktop.
