About the 470 - Exhilarating

The Dictionary says ...... 
causing strong feelings of excitement and happiness

We say .....

The 470 is a fun boat to sail, it is quickly on the plane and provides an exhilarating ride.

And the sailors say .....

Kevin Burnham (USA): “The 470 is an exhilarating ride. It will plane upwind in 10-11 knots of wind. Get reaching with just the rudder in the water in 20 knots and blast you into the atmosphere in over 25 knots!”
