Done some sailing have you ?

I have, she's away for a year and NOBODY can predict the weather for that long in advance.

Here is a comparison and some photos of a storm, which can come up unexpectedly.

Take the time to look at them all and tell me how you reckon she'd go in these conditions.

The storm pictures below were taken during a North Atlantic storm February, 13, 1987 on an eastbound passage from Tampa, Florida to Ghent, Belgium with a load of phosphates. The pictures were taken by Capt. George Ianiev, who was the ship's Second Mate at the time. The big blue wave was the largest wave the ship encountered during the storm; seeing it hit the ship made the vessel's master question whether they would survive the storm.

Kelompok:

This was in the northern summer when conditions should have been a bit calmer.

After you've looked at them get back to me an share you thoughts on how you reckon a 34 ft yacht would go it these conditions.
