Last year we held off a day with a F7 forecast... this year in a bigger boat (IF!), i'd be more tempted.....
Anything above F5 for your boat, and i'd seriously contenplate delaying....
Its not just wind though.... after a few days of northerlies, the North Sea can get lumpy, so that needs factoring in....
Best sites for weather... do a search on here.... there are many... xcweather and windguru are two of my favourites... plus start looking at GRIBS for a bit of learning! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Since when was membership required... We used to race it while passing through from Hull to the Solent as a warm up.
Has it now gone semi-pro, or is it still just a strenuous gin run?
