With the proper sail setup you can sail a Monty pretty dry at over 20 knots depending on chop and swell. A Monty will take you through more than you probably want to experience. 12 to 15 knots is usually my most comfortable zone though with a Monty you can dink around with 5 knots and turn on dimes. It is a fun boat to experiment with. Once when coming into a boat ramp I was sailing on a reach while breaking down the rig and was still about 100 yards away from the takeout and I had stowed the main with a boom in the cabin. I was going to start the ob when she lost way completely but she never did. With no canvas up she kept sailing across the 3 knots of wind right on course. Amazing little boats. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=oa-2115-f> 0 viruses found. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=oa-2115-f> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Mar 13, 2016 at 7:34 PM, Jazzy <jazzydaze@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all, I know this has mostly to do with experience and such, but what kind of wind are you all comfortable in with your Monty. Had a nice day today but was blowing 20+ and I wasn't sure. So better on the driveway wishing I was sailing than vice versa!
