Acceptable conditions for boating
Submitted by robert1979 on Wed, 2013-09-18 09:37
Hello, I've noticed a few posts on here asking for opinions on acceptable conditions for boating. I came across this AMSA document which contains a section on wave size vs boat size which I thought people might find useful. It's pretty general but at least gives an idea of what you will experience especially if you are new to boating.
cheers,
Rob

the time between waves also
the time between waves also makes a big difference
the longer the time the better

Acceptable conditions for boating
I'v been around the traps a bit and the best advice I have heard on this topic is the
15 RULE
IF IT'S MORE THAN 1.5 METRE SEAS ON A 1.5 METRE SWELL AND 15 KNOT WINDS STAY 15 METRES AWAY FROM YOUR BOAT.

Depends!!
All the above depends on one thing------the size of your boat.
