Anyone with opinions or experience with the Lord Nelson 41? Looks
like a well designed, safe, maintainable boat but I am anxious about
the performance price that I am assured I will pay. My limited
experience in light air with the boat is pretty good (3.5-4 knots
boatspeeed in 5 knots of wind) but I guess the windward performance is
poor. Anyone want to rant on the relative merits of heavy
displacement less performance boats vs. more modern designs?
