the winds in my area tend to stay around 5-10 knots which are not bad but i don't lift hulls in this condition. by the way i have a main from a SC19 and no jib
but occasionally we get days around 15 knots and gust are up to 25. which i love! as this thing loves this wind i can really cut upwind and still lift.
however we do capsize every once and a while in this condition.
i have not been out in anything over 26 knots. tomorrow the winds are predicted to be gust to +30 knots.
at what point should i start worrying about damage to the boat.
is there a way to reef the main if conditions get over whelming?
