Found the post in 'deleted"...here it is...."Hey, since we're comparing weather notes, it is currently blowing 45 kts with gusts over 50 with wave heights of 32' at 9 second intervals 16 miles off the Oregon coast. It's raining too. Coastal headlands are seeing sustained winds of 80+ mph with gusts up to 109!! The Oregon coast can be somewhat inhospitable to small boat sailors this time of year! These conditions have been consistent all day and will continue until tomorrow evening." ...............45 knots, gusting over 50,wave heights of 32ft/9 second intervals...sustained over a period of time offshore/open water=violent !! How would any 750lb boat handle...."any way the water wanted it to"
