Jimbo, you mentioned you like your Prism going INTO the wind…..is that to say it is a problem with wind at your back and following seas?

Mossback -

With the wind at your back the Prism you will do just fine... IF you are level-loaded.  Frankly, I find that I need to put a bit more weight than expected "forward" to keep from weather-vaning.  The craft is very sensitive on that particular point.

Even with the wind in my face I seem to be putting more-than-expected weight forward.  The point I wanted to emphasize, however, was how nicely the vessel cuts into the wind and slices through waves coming at me.  I make much better progress into the wind than expected.

Such are my impressions with the vessel, anyway.

Have heard great things about the Magic, though.  Certainly worth checking out.

Good luck with making your choice!
