"Usually about the average"? I get exercised when I hear whitewash
like this...I am 220 #. I thought I didn't need to remind anybody
about the difference between 145# sailing a 4.2/8'6" and a 220# doing
the same. It does blow that hard...so far twice this year for me.
the average was about 30 mph gusting to 50. All that means is my
jockey sized friends love me when it blows 12-15 since they don't own
6.3/9'4" and just jump on my stuff when I get skunked so I can watch
them plane. Also when it's blowin dogs over and the jockeys are
torqued on their equipment, all I have to do is get a wetsuit on and
jump on their stuff. Happy coexistence...100% of the time they rig
small stuff and I rig big stuff.

98 pounds? Come on, Kirk! I weight 145 lbs for the record. However, the
sail size I use is usually about the average for 3rd av. male sailors (I
hate to sail underpowered).
