In fact sailing in any conditions from dead calm to storm should
always be a challenge.
It's the essence of sailing.

Donal seems to be confused about gales, windy weather and heavy air.
He deems 25-30 knots not challenging to sail in.

There are too many instances where this book points to the "challenge"
associated with sailing a boat in conditions above 20 knots. 25-30 knots is NOT
a relaxed sail. It takes focus and skill, more so if your boat is like Scotty's
or Neals. Lighter racing hulls will be hard to control at times, to say the
least! I've been out on a J35 in 25 knots....exciting! But not easy by a
longshot.
I say...."challenging."

Donal, you know about as much about sailing as you do about choosing a good
boat!

Bwahahahaha!

Not very scary once you've done it a few times

Well, as was reported, I've done it twice in just a week. Let us know when you
try it, IF you EVER get to sail again!

Bwahahahahahaha!

The C&C 32 has a very small main. I've reefed it twice in lighter conditions.

Does this mean what it appears to, that you've put a reef in
twice?

Step2, Gary.

Speak Engligh, Donal.

It would really help if you understood English, Gary. Perhaps you
should read my earlier response to Tadpole again. Try to understand
it this
time.
It wasn't written in any particular code.
