Maximum wind?

Post by warpi » Tue Aug 28, 2018 6:53 pm

I have been out in 9-15 m/s with the Ducky 13 and the mast is getting pretty bent at these wind speeds. Do you know of any maximum wind speed that the boat can survive? Is there any maximum recommended wind speed?

For D13, this is a lot. The optimum wind force is 4-6 m / s. The maximum wind force is up to 8 m / s. But these restrictions are very conditional. Also you need to consider the waves, the general condition of the reservoir, the loading of the catamaran (it should not be overloaded), the qualification of the helmsman and so on.
