I gotta agree with you Gerald.  My experiences mirror yours.  I have had GT
and GTS's in the program for many years and in much more than 15 knots, they
can be a blessing or a bear.  They track soooo well that it's very difficult
to turn them when the wind is NOT on your side.  If the wind is helping they
are a joy.  I generally like to put strong folks in them if the weathers
cranky.
