I think the sound would be much too open. There is quite a fetch 20km in much of it if you are over the the leeward side. If the wind is coming straight down there is 100km for waves to build.

It is not a question of either directional stability or strength. It is possible to meet serious conditions in that area. There would be many great days too, but I think the boat would be too restricted by weather conditions to be useful.

Would there be any advantage to adding a box keel for strength and directional stability?
