Ah, this is helpful. When you say the weight should be "all the way back" I assume you mean aft, not back over the windward hull, right? On a Prindle 16, it's pretty easy to bury the stern, so I will adjust accordingly.



How do you anticipate puffs?



As for wind speeds - at what wind speeds should I start to worry about capsize? We start feeling nervous when the wind gets above 10 mph, and much more nervous when it gets above 15 mph, but we've only been out maybe 10 times so far, and we started out with a dramatic capsize in a surprise thunderstorm. I'm trying to get factual data to use in calming our emotions ;->
