Peter, We have been remarkably pleased with the performance of our Landfall 35 in our travels around Buzzards Bay. 6-7kts is fairly common over the ground in a beam reach at slack tides. The shortcomings arise when trying to sail tight angles up wind as the length of the spreaders on the single spreader mast makes tight sheeting angles quite problematic. She also starts to side slip at angles higher than 40-45 degrees. Running dead downwind isn’t desirable either and we have compromised by using an Assymetric genniker and sailing hotter angles and gybing more often. In 12kts of breeze we have seen 8 kts with the main and genniker in flat water. Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 Landfall 35 Padanaram, MA
