This is likely off topic. But I could find no better place to for it.
I am getting ready to change my sails from the winter sails to the summer sails. The reason is the winter sails are old and slow. Over the years I've noticed that the winter wind and the summer wind are different. Aside from being cold and wet, the winter wind seems to be stronger for the same knots. A 20 knt wind is still 20, but in winter the 20 knts seems to have more punch. I think this effect may have something to do with temperature and the number of molecules being pushed around. Any thoughts?
