I sail a 1999 Catalina 250 WK and want to move to a faster mover. But I want to stay dry when I sail in early Spring and late Fall races. Do you get sprayed when sailing a Capri 25 in winds of 5 to 15 mph ?

My experience has been that the Capri is a pretty dry boat.
I've sailed it up to 30 knots with just an occasional spray coming over the deck.
But, I race on a small lake that never sees waves much above 2 feet.
To me this boat has a relative low freeboard and I'm not sure if I would say the same if I was on a larger body of water in heavier seas.

I race on an inland lake. Under 15, not much spray. Upper teens+ and you are going to get wet.
