Thanks everyone,
great posts. We are now completely OT (how do I rename the thread ,
but that's OK.

to disambiguate:
Actually the light wind performance seems to bother people so......
What I mean is that WS32 is considered a slow boat in light wind

this boat. Thanks
Good luck with your painting

P.S. yes volume, not length, I know, and yes I've learned to be very
cautious in believing people on the internet, including you
