In terms of min wind for my gear and weight (~200#), that is really hard to
say.
So long as it looks like there is a steady breeze and I can see some
sailboats keeled over, there is enough wind to plane. There doesn't have to
be any chop on the water.
However the tides do make a big difference in apparent wind. So 12 knots
with an ebb is probably good enough and with a flood tide, it isn't.
Bye.
Justin
P.S. All this great '98 gear is for sale!
