Glad to hear you are enjoying your boat.

I agree with Richard, they seem to go just as fast with a bit less sail and less pressed.

I've managed to beat into 40 knots apparent with a lot of reefing but it was hard work if exhilarating.

I can also say that in 70 knots beam on they tend to lie down a bit even if you no longer have any sails left up.

They really are the most fun afloat for the money and will get you home safely.
