Yes. That is. "ridiculus ad absurdem."

Ok, lets leave the minimum wind end for awhile. Rick, what would be a good upper limit or agreed situation for a maximum wind? US Coast Guard "Small Craft Advisory?" An open sea situation with limited rescue craft? There should be something tangible (Knot meter reading maybe?) that could be used as a guide for Race Committees? Certainly different boats will have different upper limits too, but when it gets really up there, can an RC actually think it is ok to run races? At what point does a competitor feel comfortable using his own judjment as to what is safe while not missing a start because some RC is going to start regardless of the conditions?
