John, I can't believe you wrote this - I think you have enough distance sea miles in to have experienced a significanly rising wind from conditions when you would have raised full sail. It is no answer "to reef before I go out". Passage making will always produce changing wind conditions, even in northern European waters where wind changes are generally more predictable and less swift in materialising than the Med.

Of course she's twitchy with such an underwater profile, not to mention that extreme rudder - makes life interesting ;-)

Regards,

Brian.
