The more people aboard the stiffer it gets, though you have to pay attention to how much weight is on the low side. I got the rail down a few times when I forgot to tell people I was tacking and too many were on the lee side. Heck, my 6000-pound Folkboat heels a lot when too many crew are on the lee side, so the 850-pound PocketShip is forgiven.
My much prettier half and I were one of the groups of visitors, and I have to say we were quite impressed with the combination of speed and stability. Not to mention, since we're coming most recently off her family's Com-Pac 16, Pocketship sure felt
roomy and comfortable as can be. Amazing how a boat that's nominally a foot shorter can feel so much more accommodating.
