Sandgroper Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Hi all, From what I have read elsewhere on the forum the CS15 and Lapwing are comparable in terms of performance. How much wind is required for these hulls to plane? Crew of 1 and lightly loaded (day sailing mode). Cheers, Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy B Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Bumping this question up, I think it's a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I can plane my Lapwing in just under 15 kts of wind solo. I start out on a broad reach and hike out as I head up a little and trim in accordingly. I have hiking straps in the aft cockpit. I believe the Lapwing has less wetted surface than the CS 15. It has a rounded hull and it seems it has more rocker. So I would venture that the Lapwing is faster in light winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
