Is there a general rule of thumb on what size of seas become inherently
unsafe for a particular size of boat?


To quote Donald Rumsfeld, "... You go to sea with the boat you have,
not the boat you want...."

So get your ass out there and stop fllip flopping.

This is a loaded question. A lot depends on how seaworthy the boat is,
and how skilled the captian is. A good captian can get away with a
lot, a good captian on a seaworthy boat can get away with a lot more
(within reason). Their are plenty of larger boats that are just not
very seaworthy, and plenty of small boats that are very seaworthy for
their size.
