Lets say somehow you managed to get smack dead in the center of this
eye.

What course would you plot? Why?

Perfect eye huh?

In the sailboat of your choice under 62 ft.

My guess is that both Loco and Scotty would quickly head straight down.

SW, NE quadrant is the most dangerous.

Good story.

Yeah.... except Carl died.

You are right... a SW course would be the safest way out.

However we know the storm was going strait over Bermuda and Cuba.
If you had a fast enough boat and lots of luck you could follow the
eye to harbor, of follow it along until it loses some strength before
heading SW.

Woulden't that be something? Wonder if a USCG helo would be willing to
pluck someone out of the eye of a storm? Ive been in a few eyes on
land and they are quite calm wind wise, once in the Gulf we had to
standby to evacuate a rig until a full blown tropical storm formed
around us, the seas are mighty confused but crystal clear skies and
almost no wind.

John wrote another story about Carl, it's a pretty good story, he managed to
rescue another sailor in distress before they both went down. Can't recall
the title, it's at the SailNet site. Oh, something I almost forgot, Carl
actually was responsible for saving someone's life, but you'll have to read
the story to find out how.

Joe,

What sails would you use to get out of a Hurricane traveling West at 8
mph with a boat with hull speed of 7mph by sailing SW?

On redcloud I would fire up the main, use my bullet proof 10%jib.

The diagram in your link is showing a hurricane moving North, the one
in Joe's link has been moving WNW. The dangerous quadrant of this
hurricane is not NE but NNW of the eye.
Please get your basics right. The dangerous quadrant is the one on the
hurricanes "starboard bow" (north of equator). It is defined in
relation to the direction of the hurricane and not to the compass. The
diagram and the text in your link is misleading.
