I once managed to not only get a Pico planing, but also get it airbourne off the back of a 'wave' - but it was blowing about 30 knots at the time.  At 6' and 15 stone its the only time it is possible to have any fun in one

Radials do plane very well even with my 13st and 6ft in them (had a 4.7 planing too)

Just about anything will plane given enough wind (dinghy wise that is).

Holy f@K some of the claims as to winds you guys sail in are awe inspiring ," I was jumping off waves in 30 knts in a pico " etc , I must be in the company of super heros !!!!

 

You guys should have jetted out to America and sorted the girlies in their keelboats in miami (?) or wherever , gr* big report in current Y n Y , they had carnage in 25 Knots and you guys is just getting out your beds !

Spect the instruments on the TP 52s etc are a tad better calibrated than those you guys got !
