Actually, we were discussing both.


My assumption was that weatherliness was tha ability of a yacht to
make ground to windward.
Any yacht can be stuffed up close to the wind with sails set and not
go anywhere, thew ability to actually _sail_ to windward is what is
required.



Exactly. Having a high VMG does not indicate weatherliness at all. Do
you agree?
