10 knots isn't too bad. Thanks for the input

Pearson 365/367 Yacht Club / Speed question
September 30, 2017, 10:21:13 AM
Hi all, my wife and I are slowly looking for a 365 ketch in our area, but in the mean time have the following question for you P365 owners.
What wind speed does it take to get a P365 ketch moving? Close hauled, down wind, with or without a spinnaker/asym... I've read that the P365 is underpowered, but I'd rather hear from real world owners when they have to fire up the engine.
On the other end of the spectrum, when do you start reefing and until what is the max wind you can comfortably sail at?
Thanks
