You are totally delusional....... my boat would kick your boat's butt on
any point of sail..... downwind it would be akin to engaging a hyper-drive.
Let's face it... you believe that 30kts is high winds!! I don't break out
the bar napkins and coasters till it tops 40kts.


It is plain to see that you don't realize a heavier displacement hull makes
a bigger bow wave. Such big bow waves trap the hull in a deep trough.

Your vessel is heavy and has an old, deep keel design all of which work to
create a large wave train. So much energy goes into making these waves
that there is little left to move your vessel forward.

My fin-keeler is faster on every point of sail than an equivalent full-keeler
but it is markedly faster downwind because it can surf with control.
