this is in a radial i dont know about full rigs.
i weigh 150lbs
and have all the controls (i.e. cunnigham vang outhaul) in the right spot so this is purley about body weight
when it is light chop or no chop in about 5-10 knots i sit extremly far foward. basically the front of my butt is as far forward as leading edge of the centerboard. i personally think this is fast, because you are getting the flat back part of the hull out of the water a bit more and also weighing down the bow a bit so the knuckle of the bow is in the water. by weighing down the bow a bit it doesnt bounce around as much when you hit the chop the bow just tends to slice right through it.
is this fast?
or is this slow?
i really want to know beacause i am going to canadians in a couple weeks and i dont want to be getting killed in 5-10 knot conditions
