The boat seems to be much faster that the handicap would lead me to believe. All the other sailors were amazed as to how fast the boat was upwind and how fast it was downwind with only a mainsail.
Give yourself some credit--you must be darn good at pulling the right strings. Oh, and if you think it's fast now--wait until you're ripping downwind with the spinnaker! It may not help as much on triangle courses, but on W-L courses you'll sail faster yet much deeper than all the sloops.
