This is a follow up to my question on a swing keel 260 versus fixed keel 25.5. I really like the 260 with a wheel. Lots of room in the cockpit and I love the idea of having a small boat that has characteristics and options of a bigger cruiser. What are the positives and negatives about the wheel on a 260? Can you actually stay behind the wheel in heavy winds or do you have to hike up to windward and stretch? I love the wheel but don't want just the cosmetic option if its not functional. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
