Interested in a 323, how does it handle in light wind?

Chelsea:
Hello Frag, I'm a relatively newbee with my P323 having added "Chelsea" a year ago on the 19th.  This past weekend on Muskegon Lake (Adjoins Lake Michigan) we were sailing with 5 knot winds wing on wing and going 3.5 knots passing others with no problem and we weren't racing.. just cruising.  She has a 150% Genoa and a new Main full batten from FX Sails.  (Great new sail)
I went to the P323 from a Coronado 27 and enjoy the size and sailing ability she affords.  Have been in 8 foot seas on Lake Michigan and very comfortable.
If any other questions please let me know.

Dulcinea:
Doesn't go well to weather. Too beamy. Lots of other attributes to recommend it, including comfort, but if you plan to spend a lot of time close hauled, and if that is a decision metric you need to be looking at another boat. Old P36 maybe.

 Noted that someone chose to "smite" me for this posting. Really?
