"Got the Weta out for the 1st time in some decent breeze today. Now I really want to move to SF Bay because this boat loves 18 knots of breeze! You guys at RYC need to keep an extra fleet boat for me when I come to visit!! Coming from big monohulls, this was the most effortless sailing in the mid teens I have ever done. You'd also have to be completely clueless to get into any trouble. In the biggest puff, I set the kite on a tight reach and managed to fully bury the leeward ama. A quick bear off popped it up and she jumped off on a full mid teens plane. Had this been a skiff, I would have been swimming. Go sail one of these, they are super fun!"
