What conditions would start to be questionable for a trip over to Anegada from North Sound in a 433pc? Not going until July but taking this week for example, winds ESE 15mph seas 4-6 feet occasional 5-7 feet. Obviously I'll do a close check on the weather before making a decision but what conditions do you start to consider aborting? I realize it's different for a monohull sailboat for sure. I'm thinking 4-6 foot seas and 15mph wind is my limit. And I suppose the wind speed doesn't really matter since you are on a power cat. So it's really about the wave height/direction and wave period. Given this I think you're best off venturing out a bit and seeing how the conditions look to you. If you don't like them turn around.
Life's short - sail more!
