I have taken it to a local lake a couple of times with winds of 5-10, but I want to work up to sailing the back bays and the ms sound. Is this a good beginner boat? Stability with the center board, are there any particulars I need to watch out for? What is the max wind for safe sailing this boat? Any info and advice is greatly appreciated. The only sailing I have ever done was one of those little trimarans that you can rent at the beech, However, I did very well with it as far as tacking and judging necessary distance to make my destination.
