Hello, I appreciate your post. I'm a sailor and like to share a little bit. In windy conditions you must take control of your boat, this is best achieved by keeping your head out of the boat, this allows you to spot any increase in wind, waves, or simply other boats on the race track. If you have anticipated a 30 knot gust you can easily deal with it, problems will arise simply because you haven’t bothered to look out of the boat. Decide who in the boat is going to be responsible for calling the gusts, but perhaps the best bit of advice is both helm and crew do this. thanks all!!
