I have gone out only 2x in above 25 intentionally. both times it was on a dart (18 & 20) and it got up above 40.

we were loving it on the dart 18.. until it got so hairy the skipper couldn't effectively steer it and we beached it about 1/2 mile south of our target sans damage.

The second time was with 3 of us on a dart 20... it was fast, furious and very wet... we were snapping battens left and right...

In hindsight... i'd probably stay on land
