Saintly Fish Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The call is really up to you @daio web, I'm sure you know what your boat and yourself can stand? But anything with 20mph winds is normally a no no. Unless it's a northerly wind (on the Solent). daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely the weight counteracts that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your weight would be marginal. Being a semi D boat like mine I'd think you sit deeper in the water, so not as prone to the wind as say a Merry Fisher.

daio web Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 just watched the welsh news weather and its even worse now well theres always next weekend then the boat comes out of the water for a repair thanks guys for getting back to me tight lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyswamp Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I don't like getting thrown about at anchor (or bouncing off the cabin ceiling while underway) so wouldn't bother in anything over 17/18mph Though as jonc says, that is doable if wind is directly with the tide, but you still have to get out there and back in Nice day tomorrow, throw a sickie Dicky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 for me it all depends on wind direction - weymouth bay is sheltered from the W and SW if you stay close in - but no good in an easterly. if its 20mph or more i wont go - 15mph and off the land fine, 15mph and blowing into the bay no-no ender 10mph any direction i'll go. Swell and tides also an impact - i went out once in a light to no wind yet there was a heavy ground swell running onto the bay - so we anchored inside portland harbour - lovely flat calm day - only to be met with the same swell later on the way back across the bay - would have been very uncomfortable at anchor in the Bay Windy App will show you wind, swell and chop! daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I'd imagine any kind of head wind is an issue for you @mike farrants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
