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.

So, do you now agree that an F6 is no more than a bit of good sailing?
Will you continue to describe such weather as a "storm"?
