What's the optimal wind range for your boat?


It always interests me how the different boats all have their different wind ranges and angles, and how different they can be. For mine, I'm terrible in the sub 5 knot range, I might as well be towing a drogue she's that gluey. Fusion seems to prefer 25-30 knots at 110-130 twa where she settles down and becomes finger light, as long as the sea state isn't too short and sharp.
I remember being out one day in pretty high winds (25+) when nearly all the boats were running little or no sails, and there's Boty with a full wardrobe, not a reef in sight, just trucking along as happy as a lamb.

We're going to stretch her legs after work tomorrow if anyone's keen for a twilight sail? Should be fun!
PM me if you're keen, we're not exactly weight conscious in these forecasts

So what's the sweet spot for your boat?
