We have all kinds of weather, deping on wether we have a low from the caribbean, artic low, high pressure system with/without thermals etc. We are also in the happy position that we can choose to sail in sheltered waters or more open waters. Conditions here change very fast. Today we have had sun and no wind, snow, rain and now there is a gale blowing. All perfectly normal.
Local conditions dont matter much though as the only reason we look at an F18 is to participate in the regatta activites out of town/country. For our local sailing we will be sailing F16s. If/when we get an F18, it will be something we do to have the opportunity to participate in more regattas.

Doing another build is also a possibility, but the referenced projects would have to be closed first.
