Yep, it's fun for a short period, then it gets old fast.

Wally, please don't be cruel to JHM.

As a sweet, innocent, fresh-faced n00b, I'm interested in learning about
this sort of thing.

A couple of Sundays ago, we had some gusts on the Sonata I'm crewing on -
no
reef, standard jib, at least 40 degrees of heel (the lee rail was dipping
under). Being a n00b, I didn't know what the windspeeds were until I read
the OOD's notes on the club web site, which calmly stated that they were
29-45kts. Damned excellent fun...
