Tom, how high were the winds that came through Racine a couple of years ago? Gusts over 50?

I was tied down with two sand augers like Smith shows, had the rotation good and snug and there was no problem. I tie my trapeze lines directly to the augers. I feel that minimizes swaying of the mast. I don't tie anything across the hulls.

Several tents were collapsed and I thought my tent was going into lake Michigan but the boat was fine.
