The long range boat I will be buying will exceed Class A Ocean going and will be capable of riding out a storm..... yes.

However, there are many reasons why you would wish to avoid such a storm and many other reasons why a storm can be dangerous for any boat.

Storms see huge commercial boats founder let alone a class A pleasure boat - it would be foolhardy not to avoid a storm no matter what boat you are in - the stress on the crew - in this case SWMBO, not being the least of it.

I will always do all I can to avoid bad weather and will not sail into it unless I really have to and in that case would still try and limit it to a maximum force 8.
