Light air cruising is the best. You don't have to hurry. I have a bad back and every move I make while sailing must be made slowly so light air cruising is for me. Plus, you have more time to look around.
What I enjoy the most is enough wind to move well at all points of sail, without having to worry about an uncontroled jibe or something. I am also lucky to sail a boat who sail very good in almost no wind at all!
I am not the kind who wants to hike out or trapeze out of the boat! I reef as much as it is needed and sit calmly inside the boat.

A Sandpiper is at his best in about ten knots of wind specially if you have a working jib.
