Yes it is the flat bottem, yes it is both teeth rattling and potentially dangerous, boats have been abandonded not because they a sinking but because the motion was so sevear people where breaking limbs (see reports from the Fasnet). it doesnt need a F8 just a short steep chop, F4 and a couple of knots of tide the wrong way will make life horrenduse and breack crockery.

Good grief!

Thank God you have warned us.

To think that we actually survived 10 weeks of force 7's in Southern Brittany last year and were actually daring to set off for North Brittany next Tuesday for another 6 weeks.

Oh what a fool I was to even think of such a thing

I suppose that the only comfort will be that the broken crockery won't be a problem as we won't be able to use it due to our shattered limbs
