[C38] Storm Sails

[Joseph Launie]

David,
    On Macavity in Santa Barbara we use a single reef in the main and a 
98% techron blade in up to 30 knots. Above that  we stay in the slip and 
go up to the yacht Club to watch the others get dismasted. Our first wet 
wed night race of 2007 last March we stayed in the slip. A Farr 40 
coming downwind under chute in 35 knots got hit by a puff, rounded up 
and almost destroyed a Lancer 36. A Hunter 37 dismasted. Wind of over 25 
knots is quite rare in Santa Barbara - we are blessed with a mellow 
sailing area. Joe Launie, Commodore, Macavity #365.
