Well, I wouldn't trust it for very long...

Typically, we'll get fairly steady 25 with, yes higher gusts.

Why? Steady 25kts. I've locked the wheel before in the bay.



Hmmm...


We never get a *steady* 25 kts here. So maybe I just can't picture it.
If we have a 25 kt wind, then there will be gusts of more than 30...

Maybe my boat is a bit lighter than most??? I really cannot see myself
trusting a lashed helm with 30 kts over the deck.
