[quote=MN3][quote] It is one thing if the wind comes up while out, but another to go out in it if you do not have reefing capability. Now days, I break much easier than the boat. [/quote]

I used to sail every weekend:
that meant in overcast and freezing conditions (well 50's here in florida is freezing) - a capsize or 2 in those conditions were pretty bad -one time i was crew - and had nothing to do on the boat but shake and shiver (i should have taken a sheet to work - would have kept me warmer and taken my mind off the cold) -one time when solo, my winter gear was so heavy after the capsize, i couldn't get back aboard (well i finally made it but it was crappy)
I used to sail in heavy air (40+) - watching battens snap like twigs, ripping through the main - no fun
I used to sail with thunderstorms forecast - a few bad experiences with lightning all around... Pass on that
