Never had a problem downwind. Usedca drogue in anything over about 40kn. Sailed through much more on occasion

A period that I still look back upon fondly. It could be argued that I spent most of 1975 to 1987 sailing offshore on a cav 32.

For a cav 32, nothing. They are built like a brick shithouse.but it will be getting on a bit so a good look at rudder shaft, rig, sails, keel bolts, windows, through hulls bearings - all the usual sh*t. And get a good windvane.

I know a few physicists who would disagree.

You can't make meaningful statements about that unless you also know the mortality rate and fertility rate for the population of 15,000,

I veered off the dock in Noumea after a few celebratory drinks. Everyone thought it was deliberate so no harm done.

Not sure such a thing exists. Best I can come up with is one person came up with the idea and it was adopted.
