Wimp! I can tell you don't have double reef points on your mainsail
custom designed to reduce your sail area to that of a storm trysail
on the deepest reef like I do. Combine this deeply reefed mainsail
with my custom storm jib and I could sail comfortably in forty-five
knots sustained. I have to wonder about the seaworthiness of Ella.

S.Simon - has what it takes to sail in any wind condition and
to survive a storm at sea.

Damn there goes another sailing weekend 45 knots mean wind speed and up
to 60 mm in 24 hours!
