115 is sticky in light air. Better than a lot of boats but many in similar handicap range are light air specialists. The 115 really likes 18 apparent up wind and minimum 11 crew. 15-20 with 14 aboard the boat is a killer upwind From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On

Mike, I would buy into Josh's rule of thumb for a light air boat: that it should go upwind at about half of the apparent wind speed. But to me, light air is less than 6 knots or so true. So we're talking about getting boat speeds of 3 or 4 knots upwind in apparent winds of up to 8 or 9. Or
