Have you ever sailed in waves as high as your boat's beam?

to me... way up here on the North Friggin' Atlantic!! Sheesh!


Yeah, I didn' think so.



I think a Hunter might meet the research criteria you stated....
OOPS...there goes a brand name.

You're coming down with a case of Boobsprititis.

Nonetheless..... I doubt a 10 ft ocean wave is going to capsize my
vessel... even if it's breaking and beam to.

That's what I said earlier.

In 60 ft of water at the mouth of the bay here that opens onto the
Atlantic... I get waves to 30+ feet and breaking.

Overfalls due to current?

I've not only managed to turn my sailboat 360 degrees in those waves... but
in a 30 ft Cape Islander fishing boat... on many occasions.
I guess you just learn to deal with the ocean conditions if you want to go
out in that kind of weather.


You're bad, you're nationwide. I wish I was as tough & salty as you. I
wish I knew as much about engineering as you. Let's face facts Mooron,
when it comes to brandishing bottle-born bull****, nobody can top you!
