My boat must be light or something. At 20 heading upwind my 125 is furled to 
keep me off the rail and I am fighting a 30 degree heel.  Most likely the 
boom is lowered halfway as well. I like exciting sails as much as anyone and 
more than most. Too bad you can't try sails out and return them like clothes 
that don't quite fit!

Still have an open mind .....
