Geez Max.... now you've done it. You've made a claim as to a vessel's
ability that isn't listed as possible in Doug's library!!

Next thing you know Loco will be telling you about an interview he saw
about
the subject.

No fears man... I for one do indeed believe you. Seems like fin keelers
think a full keel boat can't possibly sail faster than 3 knots..... in any
conditions.

I used to chuckle when a friend's former Westsail 32 would leave virtually
everything behind on windy days. And I get a kick out of watching Catalina
34 owners turn tail and run the other way when they can't outdistance my
current 34' full keel boat in any wind conditions. But hey, who am I to
attempt to dispel long-standing misconceptions? There are a lot of authors
who made big bucks creating them.
