I'd like to know how strong a wind this thing can actually make a turn into?

Given her mass, area and sheer weight, not too fast a wind is my guess!

Your point is well taken. All those decks are like a sail.

Ya know these new tubs are nowhere near as fast as the old 30+ knot ocean liners of yore. Check out the old United States, which is rotting away in Philadelphia. She could knock off 40 knots!!!
