Wind was probably up to 22 m/s (Force 9) and they arrived to the Svaneke directly from Gdynia by over 24 hours at sea. On the boat only skipper was experienced, but probably he was more lucky than reasonable - than:Svaneke in that time (as usually in similar storms as well) was closed - internal bassin which is safe in storms if closed storm gate is...
Is it better:

About Beth and classic sailing canoes:
I'm looking for sailing canoes and kayaks in Poland - there are few of folding kayaks with sails and leebords and few of as like I've presented previously and few with doble outriggers too. Sailing canoes are not popular in Poland than 16/30 and other classic racing sailing canoes unknown practically there.

I stumbled onto this bit of Australian sailing canoe history today...
The Payne–Mortlock Sailing Canoe is a 5.8m, two person, senior racing dinghy, rigged with a mainsail, jib and spinnaker. Designed in the mid-late 1940s by Alan Payne, (also known for designing the Australian America's Cup Challengers, Gretel and Gretel II), Bill Payne and Bryce Mortlock, the class has been sailed in Australia for over 50 years, and is one of the few senior classes that were designed within Australia. The designers started work on designing a two man sailing boat in 1938, completing the first vessel, "Willy's Canoe", in 1946. From there they increased the size of the hull, and the new class was introduced into Victoria through the Hobsons Bay Yacht Club. Subsequently the class traveled to South Australia in the 1950s and was employed as one of four recognised classes that were being raced at the Brighton & Seacliff Yacht Club. Today the Brighton & Seacliff Yacht Club is the only place in Australia where regular races are still held. The canoe was based on Uffa Fox's Brynhild design, and possesses a sleek hull with two hiking planks

Alan Payne also designed the 12 metres Advance and Steak and Kidney.
I used to work as the ship chandlery closest to the Brighton sailing club - so the canoe guys would roll on in. The boats are spectacular and a bit tricky in some conditions.
I can't remember their yardstick, but they would probably be a bit slower than a 505, Sharpie and FD. Though in the right conditions they would be able to pass all of them.

Thank you Bruce and MIK for info!
Fine boat!
Uffa Fox designed his Brynhild for cruise from England to the Normandy and Brittany, and for check of speed and behaviour two man sailing canoe with double sliding seats. He was expected of her speed to being better than his singlehanded sailing canoes (Vailant, EastAnglian, Flying Fish, Gallant) - their max speed were 17 knots but Brynhild's max speed was 15 knots "only".
Sorry to absent similar sailing canoes in Poland ...

I'm on it, Bruce, but she ain't going to be pretty at all. 2x4's and an old Laser sail.
