These "too small" boats have a great virtue!... They sail well in very light winds. I really really enjoy this fact. With my previous boat (Just a 18½ footer but with maybe 5 times the weight) I needed a good ten knots of wind to sail well, specially going up current. Now, as long as I can feel it a little on my face, I can have a pleasant sail. I can also reef as much as I want with my rolling boom reefing if needed. I will never regret the switch.
