Comfort??

I guess it depends a lot on the boat and the skill of the captain. I have a nice 28' Mariner but I am only sailing for 3-4 years. I tend to stay within my comfort zone of no more than 15-20 knots of wind. Higher seas like more than 4-5' gets a little uncomfortable for me as I am 62 and not as athletic as I used to be and usually sail alone or with non-sailors. Hey, if you want to go hell bent for leather go for it but I like to not have to change underwear every time I go out. MY ideal day 10-15 knots of wind, seas 2-3 feet and all during a weekday so I can play hookie from work. Have fun
