Not sure of the wave and wind conditions in the Keys.
I have an AF2, AF3's big sister. I don't like to take it out in winds
over about 15 and waves over about 12". This is mosly personal
preference, it will handle quite a bit more in an emergency, but is
not comfortable or relaxing.
You might post your question to the Michalak egroup, or write the
designer himself, but I'm pretty sure AF2 is intended to be a lake
boat.

Would anyone care to comment on the capability of an AF3 to handle
various wind and wave conditions. Would an AF3 be suitable for
cruising the Florida Keys with two camping on board?
Can anyone give me the sail dimensions, so that I can determine if
any sails I have on hand might be suitable?

various wind and wave conditions. Would an AF3 be suitable for
cruising the Florida Keys with two camping on board?
Can anyone give me the sail dimensions, so that I can determine if
any sails I have on hand might be suitable?
