I've been out in uber winds (OOD said 40kts gusts). When next in the UK, ask someone if they were at that grafham open......
mega gust came thru; almost all of the boats out (about 120) went swimming. So windy that sails were just blowing out..
This is not me; but gives some idea of what it was like, The Hurricane 59 is a 20 foot boat.

My boat blew off the trolley going up the slipway with no sails up. It was very (too) silly.....
