Not in the SF bayarea. That would be considered a normal
day on the bay. Over 35 would be considered challenging.

Most
"sailors" consider anything about force 6 to be somewhat challenging.

F6 = 22-27 kts.
This is uncomfortable on an upwind course for many boats - yours included.
However, on a beam reach an F6 should produce some damn good sailing.

In other words, you agree that force 6 is considered challenging for many
boats.
That's what I thought.
You're coming along nicely!
