I have sailed upwind in winds of 42+ and gusting and have never seen the "tops

never seen the "tops ripped off the waves". I have also sailed offshore in 40+
knot winds and have never seen the "tops ripped off waves".
Maybe my eyesight has gone all to hell?

The problem is definitely somewhere above your neck.
Tell us about upwind in 42+. What sails were you flying and on what
kind of boat? Did you soil your speedos?
