OK you're a braggard.

Sure, in your dreams.

40+ gust - 27 steady
33+ av - 50+ peak
35 av (a full gale) - 52 gusts.

I maintain, at 35 knt wind speed a dinghy is out of the range of
managability. Anyone who says otherwise has either never sailed in such
winds or is a braggard.

Just as a matter of record, Doug what is your club policy on wind
strength for abandoning dinghy races?



Call me a braggard ...but...
We won a heat of an Oz champs in dinghys in conditions that built
quickly from around 25 at the start to 35+ after only a few minutes.
It was hard work but managable..we were a full leg ahead by the top
mark the second time..carried a kite on both downwind legs then backed
off and cruised to victory.
