Your perfect weather

Post by T25 »

From a mobo's point of view, flat calm with minimum wind used to be very nice, but without some wind I can see how a hankie boat could get boring, so what's your perfect weather?.
Please don't blame Simon if he can't arrange it :)
Round here I will be looking at travelling from the Wash around to as far South as we manage, but we will be on a 21ft old wooden Debutante, so for me it will probably be a steady breeze and no rain. Some hopes, but should I look into more detail ?.

Not too fussy really

10 to 20 knots of wind

And no rain

Amazing how rarely this spec is met.

Sunny, with F3-4, offshore & on the beam or slightly forward. But what's the point? You'll never get it! It's always too windy, not enough wind for sea state, on the nose, bloody cold, foggy or peeing it down!

Welcome to "Raggies World"! :D
