I just can't accept that a light fin keel boat is faster in a chop and 
breeze.  I recall one 24 mile race with the winds realy strong  in my Sea 
Sprite.  We had a full main set, and the spinnacker too.  I didn't have any 
means of measuring the wind speed, but we were hitting 10 knots surfing down 
the waves.  The boat weighed 3300 pounds, and had 1500 lb of lead balast.  We 
had a crew of 3.  We won the race.
