I have been experimenting here on my lake, I find it only pays off in medium wind, say, 10 knots + or - a couple. The agravation of getting out is nothing compared to coming back in while trying to get ready to jibe. You may find yourself swimming as the boat can jibe without waiting for you.

In light air, of course it's too light, and in heavy air, you will be swimming the first big puff that you bear off hard and bury the low bow. -don't ask me how I know- Better off to sit on the back of the boat and try to keep the bows up and get it planing when it's blowing hard.
