Inertia makes for a smoother motion in a seaway, and inertia makes for the need

it's a bit more complex than that....or else supertankers would stop
in the same distance as a yacht.
What a Westsail won't do, is accelerate, decelerate and turn as
quickly as lighter boats...probably won't point as high as most
either..but absolute mass is not the major component of hull-speed...
