Performance is fast and responsive. AS-29 points high and sails fast downwind. In heavy conditions she behaves well when reefed down and gives a comfortable ride. Spinnaker improves performance in winds up to 15 knts. Above 15 knts. spinnaker is not necessary and 1st/2nd reef goes in gusting 15-20knts. 2nd reef at 20knts. 3rd reef not tried.
