Hi Shawn, I had an Olson 30 I raced on lake Ontario, the Landfall is not that. It sails well for being a 43' cruising boat (modified fin, short rig). To be honest, I don't pay too much attention to how fast we're going and how much wind there is. When there's wind we sail, when we drop below 2 knots we fire up the engine and get to where we want to be. All that being said, it's a great boat. Maybe someone else can chime in here with better info.
As for deck storage it has the 2 aft deck lockers, one is for a 20lb propane tank (Fits snug) the starboard side is more than twice as big, we store a second tank and flippers and masks etc. There's a line locker on the port side next to the cockpit, we keep all our dock lines and a 10L jerry can and has room for 2 small bags of garbage. The boat has no place to store sails, when we go on vacation we store the kite in the shower with the extra beer. The anchor locker is big, on top of the chain and rode for the 2 anchors we keep the portable generator there with lots of room to spare. I find the cockpit to be plenty big and comfortable, no complaints. All center cockpits are not easy to get in and out of if they have an enclosure, probably one of the reasons why the backrest are the height they are. We have a full enclosure at one height (see link below) like having an extra living room in all weather. I upgraded to a folding 40" wheel, which makes it feel a bit more racy :) I looked at the boat on FB, ours is set up a bit differently. Where the FB boat has the captain's birth we have workbench and shelves. Below that is lots of storage. https://www.dropbox.com/s/h1kn0cmw1nk3aqo/20220815.jpg?dl=0 *Kevin Wright* Raven 1985 Landfall 43 Midland ON
