Hello all!
I bought a O'Day Widgeon this spring, and have used it roughly 7 times now on three different lakes. My latest time out was on the biggest lake yet for me (Lake Sunapee, NH) and the wind was 10 knots with up to 25 knot gusts.
Now my question is, can you plane in a Widgeon? I think the hull is a semi-planing hull but i'm not sure. Could you all take a look at the attached photos?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: FYI, I didn't manage to plain on my last time out, although I tried to by moving slightly aft and running on a broad reach when a gust would hit.
