In Response To: Re: rolling and beam winds (Nick Schade)

I agree with Nick. Use what you have, but stay ready to use the off-side if the on-side fails. In my limited experience, winds under 20 knots have minimal effect with respect to rolling. Swells also seem to have little effect. Breaking waves larger than 2' will affect your roll, however.
