So when the conditions are rough what boat do people like to be on? The reason I ask is Sunday we had 18-24kt wind with 5 foot waves, air temp upper 50's, on Lake Michigan in the Chicago area. In Wilmette we have around 200 cats on the beach. Most 16's and Getaways, but a little of everything. There were only 4 boats on the water off our beach and they were all H18 Magnums or SX's, all with wings. On a busy summer day four 18's on the water is about typical, it was just interesting to see they were the only boats on the water yesterday. For those of you not familiar with Lake Michigan, our waves are very close together and steep since they are completely wind blown, no ocean rollers here.
So if you have a choice, what boat do you sail on in rough conditions.
