ssneade will become famous soon enough
having a full keel is a disadvantage, but with the beam slightly forward of center, i have the advantage. i can run a 180% in a 25k breeze, close hauled....

a catalina or many other narrow bowed boats would plow like an old farmall tractor in those conditions...

advantage, columbia....

the heavier the wind, the more she likes to play. i got the lake practically to myself after 30k....
