My "guess" is in the water, since there will be less surface area exposed. It also seems to me that the higher you are from the ground, the stronger the winds. Of course, if the marina you are at does not have strong pilings/docks, then you are screwed.

However, falling off the stands can be very serious. It puts serious stress on a hull which might not be immediately apparent.
