It's a force 6 wind. In a cruising boat, you should be in harnesses and reefed. In a dinghy you shouldn't go out at all. I'm not saying it can't be fun, but don't make it sound like it's a normal sailing experience. To use your own words, It's a jog in the park. The Veridican You should come over to Oz or NZ where most summer breezes reach 25kts...every day! Most performance dinghys revel in that weight, planing upwind and down flying spinnakers to their benefit. Oz1...of the 3 twins. Hah! Including lakes too, waht's more! -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- Sail where the crabs get blown out of the sand each summer's afternoon! http://www.ace.net.au/schooner/mlakes.htm |
