A two-knot difference seems too large. Agree with psneeld that water current could be a factor if measuring speed over ground. Haven't noticed a drop in the Coot's speed with strong headwinds. Perhaps it helps to have a slow, low-profile boat to begin with. Do notice a list, however, with strong beam winds.
