Guest Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 From the front page of SA ! Moments later a white wall of torrential rain, 4' waves, and gusts to 25kts reduced visibility to 100ft! Sounds horrible!!!!!!! Actually this accompanied by a pretty cool photo Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 543 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 OK, so I suppose if he was in a Dinghy, that could cause reason for concern. If only we had weather as nice as that last Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 OK, so I suppose if he was in a Dinghy, that could cause reason for concern. If only we had weather as nice as that last Christmas. 25 knots? Pff! 4 Foot Swell? Pfffffff! We sailed Starling Nationals in 5-7 meter swell! Can't remember what the gusts were... In fact, we sailed many times in weather well above the cancel point for any keel boat club. I see keelers REEFED in 15 knots, and races cancelled when theres only 20. Visibility? There were 150 boats on the water and you could only see 2, the one in front and the one behind you. Thats why all bar 3 boats in one fleet followed each other around Mark 2 of the Trapezoid course instead of Mark 1. The 3 were too far behind to see where they went, and there was arguements over outside assistance as it was a parent that told them to protest.... Link to post Share on other sites
