what am I doing wrong ??? (don't answer <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />)

I'm 115kgs 253 llbs and sail a singlehanded cat derived from a 18 ht , it has the stealth 18ht platform with an enlarged f16 rig on it 16m2 plus rated main/mast area and a 17.5 m2 kite

I'm fully maxed out with down haul in 10 knots and I'm a heavy bstard .

I wanted a boat I could take out in any wind and with this I can , its a wee bit sticky in very light winds but with the full cut landy big top main it soon powers up .

Makes me wonder when I hear of folks near half my weight sailing boats with a 5 foot taller mast and 4 sm2 bigger mains in force 4 winds ????????

Guess scottish wind must be much more denser or I is !!
