Exactly. If he'd gone out in heavy weather to ply his newfound trade on purpose, he might've survived that gale. Mind you I don't advocate jumping out in 30' seas with a 90 knot breeze to practice but you can at least work your way up to gale sailing so ya have half a chance if'n ya get caught out. The other concern would be the condition of the boat. Taking a new to you, old boat out into seas like that is suicide. Ya have no clue how or if it will handle those conditions.
