Part of the problem with heading into a 15 knot wind with gusts... First off it's a sailboat, they get blown around while motoring.
Secondly, you just don't have enough headway. Unlike our ICE counterparts you're in a boat that utilizes an electric drive so like all of us, you're light on the throttle in order to extend range.
Ask me how I know this :)
Prop, on my 28', currently running a 4 bladed 12x12.5 meant for a wakeboard boat. I started out with a 14x10 3 bladed. Imo, get rid of that 2 bladed prop.

I've got an O'Day 30' with a Thunderstruck 10K motor, 2:1 reduction and 4 AGM batteries. I've got the original 16" pitch 9, 2 blade prop that was powered by a 16HP Universal when the boat was built. I'm convinced there must be something more efficient. I can't even maintain a course into a 15mph wind.
