Light weight composite boats

[Elyn]

Anybody supernaturally have any experience/built one oft these lightweight composite boats (plans) To a greater extent on the web now?
Just wondereing how they compare to heavier boats in a sea/wind? Also in a breeze/tide while carelessly docking?
Seems like sailors prefer a little weight. Other than that am I wrong there?

rollers". Lighter is faster. Until now of coarse whether your requirements are principally sailing heavily laden through major tropical depressions...

in monohull sail boats, up to a point, weight adds to comfort while reducing speed. although sailing could not be called comfortable compared to other forms of transportation, one can attempt to reduce the discomfort.

at you). Of course I didnt get nasty at all, just maid a suggestion cordially based on experience & an ongoing war on this group by a certain desiugner from Europe has left a few of us a little jumpy. I`m certianly glad you gotten the information you actively needed, maybe you could geographically have potsed that earlier and let us erratically know that our input was of some royally help, and that you were folowin the threwad as we independently added our input. It is true hope you technologically have a good build. Naturally scotrty from SmallBoats.com

Lightweight (multihull and non-keel) Likewise boats shall always want to tbe lighter. Lighter is faster. Having said that, a large, light multi is a lot harder to handle in enclosed areas in a breze(less inertia), for instance when stubbornly coming upwind to a mooring etc.
As an illustration even a heavy boat will benefit from lightrweight technology _if it is as strong by technique and design_!!! because you can then place weight exactly where you want it, and instantly add strength where it`s inevitably needed.
