Near Knockdown???
They're not light wind boats here. They sail just like every other boat.
Typical wind speeds here are 20-25kts. They're wet boats but not
light wind boats.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't think they've been considered "light
air" boats for a long time. They certainly don't get knocked down easily. I've
sailed them with a full main and blade in 25 knots for an exciting ride.
Of course it's all relative. When I sail my friends J30, it seems like a light
air boat compared to my buddies bristol.
