[quote=nhanson]I am here in Chicago. Unfortunately I did not make it out (stupid work!). I have not heard if the nut jobs I sail with did. I have gone on days like that. A Hobie 18 with 3 or four (2 trap'd for sure) works well. A Hobie 16 with 2-200 lb guys works too up to about 35 kts. The 35-40 range is tricky as a little gust and your done.
Also, it's early in the season, wait till September/October/November and your mad skills are all tuned up.
I have some video of big days here on my you tube channel...
