I did a lot of racing on a Capri 22 wing keel back in the late 80's. The boat we raced was very well equipped and in flat water we usually were able to beat the J22's in most conditions. In heavy air they usually beat us because they planned faster and in less air than we did. Upwind in waves were definitely the weakest point for that boat, the wing keel did not do well in those conditions. We only did a couple of races in the ocean and it was apparent that the boat would never be competitive there. On lakes and sheltered bays we usually did very well.
