I have very quickly grown weary of excessive heeling when I sail . 10-15 degrees of heel is comfortable & the boat moves well . I can put the rail in the water but there's no appreciatable increase in speed , & you can't set anything down . I have also grown weary of having someone on the helm that has a background in racing & is continually coming up on the wind after I've set a course & trimmed sails forcing the boat over . This is especially onerous to me as I ALWAYS explain my expectations & plan in as nice a way as I can . To add insult generally when I make a POLITE call to accountablity the usual response is that the boat comes up on the wind on it's own . Imagine the facial expression of the helmsman when in a polite tone of voice I explain that if I could set the steering & walk away I wouldn't need a stupid f$%king shoe clerk SOB on the helm . It's like wiping your azz with your foot for the sake of making it more difficult . I'm old....my boats 77 years old......& if someone on my boat needs an adrenalin rush I'll happily oblidge by kicking their azz & then they can go home & piss blood for a week . I hate everything....but I especially hate a mealy mouth no account low bred no manners shoe clerk SOB that can't understand plain spoken English & follow simple instructions & who only will respond to extreme duress & fear of pain while a guest on MY boat . Have I made myself clear . Any questions ??? The boat does go nice at 20 degrees of heel & it is cool watching the water go by & every now & then shipping a little green water , but it's a bit like our cars....they'll easily go a hundred miles an hour but it would be uncomfortable & hard on the car .
