Canadian low expected overnite, This usually brings some wind. It should be about 30 to 35 in the am. This will be the maiden voyage for myself with the LASER. Let's here the vote ???

Chris123 said:Our fleet sails with the "20/20" rule -- if the temperature is below 20F or the wind is steadily blowing more than 20, we don't go out. Newport, RI sails with the rule that if the windspeed is higher than the temperature (in degrees F) they don't go out.
But a lot depends upon what your options are if something breaks. Frostbite fleets typically have at least one powerboat on hand, and seldom go very far from shelter.
