Hi

I race a stratos keel in Chichester harbour in the slow handicap fleet, in light winds I've not got a chance, force 3 and above and I'm in with a fighting chance, I've beaten a Fireball, Laser 2, RS200 and Flying Fifteens. I'm not sure of the draft, it's not written down anywhere, I guess about a metre, I've yet to hit the bottom.

I hope this helps

Steve
