This season we had a race in 30+ mph winds. We had 380lb on my Nacra 5.2 and we went out Uni-rigged. The chop alone was wild enough. Out on the ocean I would imagine it would have been very bad.

People may think they know their limits, but most who get in trouble have thought they were within bounds. Anything can happen, and every sailor should set themselves up for a safe sailing experiance.

One of the funnest times I've had was sailing our old Club Wave out in some 25mph + wind. Waves love wind...
