FYI, 777F cross-wind limits are 38 knots. With a x-wind component in excess of 28 knots, it's not possible to get to zero crab and the aircraft must be landed while crabbed.

Also, the aircraft is actually certified to land up to the maximum crosswind limits in a full crab (not my first choice of technique, personally). While not recommended on a dry runway in very strong x-winds, this is actually may be desirable with a slippery runway.
