Hi John, I know what you mean. I just fell in love with mine. I don't have much experience with her (bought it June 2012), and cant compare as it is my first keel boat. In light air, I usual match the TWS up to 6.5 knots at 30 degree AWA. She point well, even with a wing keel. I can go up to 20 degree AWA and still have a margin before stalling. Mine is a 1988 and it is in pristine shape. It was a ready to sail boat (fresh water boat). Hope it help. Pierre Tremblay Avalanche C&C38-3 WK
