My son reg just 14yo was out at primbee this morning setting a cracking pace with a 4.6 with the wind reaching 40 knots and others looking on while waiting for the wind to ease. Shortly after he blew up in a jybe and while attempting to Beach start again he put his head through his sail and had to walk back to the shore which totally wore him out. He can now say that he has been out in 40 knots and has gained much respect from the local crowd.
Your son got courage yesterday l saw seasoned sailors scratching their heads on whether to go out in such powerful winds l must admit down at botany it was at times a bit much.l never got out because it was starting to die off.
