Yesterday I took Kimosabi, our 2014 Dash 750 MK2, out with a friend who is a previous Corsair F-24MK1 owner. Average winds were 17-18 with gusts to almost 30. I'm still acquainting myself with the boat so it was good to experience higher winds with this boat. The increased hull volume of the floats is quite apparent. We put a single reef in the main and most of the sailing was with reefed main and jib except for one downwind ride with the screacher.
Our top speed for the day was 17.6 knots with my friend driving the whole time.
From the video of us going to weather, one can see he was enjoying himself!
My friend felt the boat was never really pressed and was quite impressed with the newer design floats.
