Nevertheless it was a superb sailing day: trip almost 80 km (!!) and top speed still close to 35 km/h. Our club cancelled the races but went out with 3 cats anyway. Had all 2 person crew and kept visual contact anytime. Flipped over in all possible ways that's why I still love H16 sailing.
The strong wind could be handled, the waves in combination with fierce gust were tricky. The water was still rather cold by the way. And to be honest: our location is still a lake but a serious one ... (Grevelingenmeer)
Don't doubt your self-confidence but you might as well have another cat close by under these circumstances. You can always get material trouble or get hurt somehow ...
