Hi Fellow Ericson owners,
My first year with Discovery is complete, my first year with a sailboat is complete.
I am not an experienced sailor and I need advice on winds 14-18 knots.
discovery is a shallow draft keel (4 ft) with a fractional jib carrying a 150/130 (?) genoa
She overpowers at 14 knots and begins weather helming at 13.
She could use a better captain and I could use advice on handing 12-20 knot winds.
