You don't have to Australia for wild weather. Neal and his toy boat wouldn't
last 10 minutes in decent wind....

scribbled thusly:

That's why one must sail off the wind and sail under
a small, balanced press of sail so one can maneuver
in such a way to avoid those breakers. They are not
mast height, btw. They are relatively small. Look
closely at the pictures. The really huge looking waves
are taken looking up from a transom when the bow
is in the trough . . .

Cappy, it's very very obvious that you've never seen anything anywhere
like these waves.
You might like to look at this pic Cappy.

Seas look calm, until you notice that the whole boat is being dragged
sideways by the wave that has just passed her....she's a 70footer!
