Did you try it in less wind?

Yeah. We sailed it downwind with main, mizzen, and non-lapping headsail
only (staysail furled) in roughly 3-5 kts. of wind. It moved along rather
well. In fact the C&C 40 belonging to another friend stayed with us or fell
slightly behind. The Bayfield seemed to do well in just about any wind.
That's what impressed me most. It's only failure, IMO, was that it isn't
particularly weatherly. At 60 degrees off the apparent wind it moves well,
but closer and it slows significantly.
