Just because there is a top end race wind limit doesn't equate to the boats falling apart or not being capable of sailing in those conditions. It's a class choice for good racing. Also stating 2 up sailing would be sketchy. Raced the n-20 in over 30 knots and gusts higher, and I guarantee you the extra 6 feet made a huge difference.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
