Also, while the VMG drops at small angles, doing 7.3 knots at 46 true,
for a VMG of 5 knots, in only 12 knots of wind isn't too shabby. And
in 16 knots its doing close to 10 knots at 60 true.

When it was first offered at pre-production of $350K I was tempted,
but the beam was just too big for facilities up here. (Not to mention
waaaayyy over my budget!) I wish I had these charts for my boat.
