Please have a look at how far the S-18 rolls at only 5 m/s wind - it simply doesn't feel right!

at 14-15 m/s it is practically not possible to use this boat surfaced, you are losing too much speed and are diving too often.
Watch will also leave station automatically when the boat is underwater in heavy sea.
Was this typical for S-class boats?
