And, most of us wouldn't choose to by a piece of crap for thousands
of $$, but you did!

No big thing? Different class of sailors? You don't sail. No one who
sails,
says no big deal to pert near gale force winds. You would have been more
believable if you had at least said you reefed and rolled in the jib,
but you
don't know enough about sailing to put that into your lie, do you?

The Veridican

Maybe he owns a 100-foot ketch with a crew of 15 to help him reef it in.
You are right that in the real world, most of us wouldn't choose to
sail in such conditions if we had a choice.
