You've sailed close hauled in 46 mph winds?

yes.

BS., and don't act like every
sailor you know has done the same.

maybe I know a different class of sailors.

I think like you, every sailor you know has
"said" they've sailed in 40 knot winds close hauled.

no big thing, really.

No big thing? Different class of sailors? You don't sail. No one who sails,
says no big deal to pert near gale force winds. You would have been more
believable if you had at least said you reefed and rolled in the jib, but you
don't know enough about sailing to put that into your lie, do you?

yo-yo, I made no mention of having all the sails up at 40+ knots. The boat
would a mite overpowered. btw, I have hank-on head sails because I prefer the
better performance.

How might that be? You can't adjust luff tension unless you like the look of
scallops.

Maybe he owns a 100-foot ketch with a crew of 15 to help him reef it in.
You are right that in the real world, most of us wouldn't choose to
sail in such conditions if we had a choice.

And, most of us wouldn't choose to by a piece of crap for thousands
of $$, but you did!
