[C320-list] Question for Designer Douglas

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

Anecdotal evidence leads me to believe that around 12kn true wind  is the
cross-over.....I have done some fair amount of research into this..

In this month's issue of the Mainsheet in the C350 technical section
Designer Dogulas says that folding props are or primary importance for
racers and in light wind.

Question:  For a 320, assuming good sails, good trim, and a clean bottom,
what is the wind speed that eliminates the affect of a folding or
feathering prop?  In other words, what is the minimum wind speed that a
folding prop won't make a difference on a C320.
