Iris
Catalina 36 MK II
We were expecting a warm, leisurely cruise around San Diego bay, but soon the winds picked up to over 20 knots. Sea spray drenched the foredeck passengers, who continued to stay up front laughing hysterically. Iris handled beautifully, giving me absolutely zero weather helm when close hauled. Coming back, we clocked along at over 7 knots on a beam reach, with max of 7.53 and 8 knots over ground. Quite an exciting day!
