Does anyone know how these boats behave in very hard wind?? I`m thinking of buying an Imexus, but I read in a test that these boats didn`t handle much wind because of the light keel.

Just watch what happens when she comes about - going into the wind. Speed and tack fall right off.
In truth I'm very disappointed too - but in fairness it IS a trailer-sailor. Certain compromises MUST be made. I'd see it as Ideal for Dutch inland water or Irish coastal areas.
A bigger concern is the lack of gas-cooker. What's the use in an electric 20ring cooker?? Only usable in marinas. I want to buy a TS for exploring Irish bays and islands not marinas

Hoping for some serious answers :-)
