State of water shows a reasonable breeze and the spinnaker is full, yet
the ponderous Nordica 30 is barely moving! There's barely a bow
wave!!!! She's doing 2-3 knots at best, where my boat would be close to
hull speed.
Why do people buy such turtles? Because they're afraid of those few
ultra windy days where it might actually be a serious challenge to
handle a fast boat like a 35s5, J35 or even a good cruiser like a Sabre
35.
Nordica slowica cheapica boatica!!!

What an idiot. The breeze is so light that it cannot even pull the
wrinkles out of the spinnaker.
