I thought last weekend would be the day I first tried sailing the Minifish
I have LIMITED sailing experience (read a bunch about theory, sailed maybe four times in Hobie Cats and a Rumba)
Athough not a lake, I will be sailing in an inlet of the North Shore of Long Island (Cold Spring Harbor). The only waves I have seen are those produced by cruising motorboats.
Flags were flapping at good 20 knots last Sunday; it seemed impossible to me that the boat would not immediately capsize, so the lack of cojones postponed the outing.
What would be the IDEAL wind speed to enjoy sailing in one of these? What would be the maximum that would make it impossible?
