I went out sailing on the Frers in 30+ knots (we were the only boat that turned up for the race start). We had the leeward rail buried the entire time, reaching across 8' seas and never once lost the rudder. Something to be said for the more modern foil design, but I am way more comfortable than them when cruising...
