Because whitecaps usually begin forming around 8 knots and are regular
at 10.

Are they different on your sea?

Fetch will make a slight difference and so will salt vs fresh, but not
much. Let me guess... you've never noticed when whitecaps form.


12 to 15

That's been my observation. Never seen 'em at 8kts.

Yep. Same here in the SF bay... usually 15-17kts when they start to form.

This certainly applies in open water, but in very protected water, such as
Boston's Charles River Basin, you won't see whitecaps until its over 15
knots.
Of course, we were able to sail dinghies in 30 knots or more there.

"F3 knots: 7 - 10 Gentle breeze, Large wavelets; crests begin to
break; scattered whitecaps"

"F3 knots: 7 - 10"
"Gentle Breeze Large wavelets. Perhaps scattered white horses"

You might want to ask Navvie just to make sure.

Cause I'm lazy? It WAS blowing hard all morning, it had just calmed down
some, so I had Lisa steer while I went to unshake the reef, grabbed the
camera and went forward to take the pic.

Nice boat, but why are you reefed in such light wind?





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Bad answer. I would have taken out the reef long ago.

You need a magnifying glass. At 8 kts, they're smaller than his IQ.

Why?
Are you taking away my points?

Why? We were CRUISING, not racing. Also we were running w/the wind all
morning so the main wasn't 'doing much'.


Nice boat,


You have good taste sir.

Very true. As I stated once before, and got ridiculed from the ****head, I
usually start out reefed when Lisa's aboard.
