Thats a SeaHawk, the marinised version of the BlackHawk helicopter.

Pretty sure this is a discussion Rob wouldnt want, having said that ... :)

If theyre maintaining 50 knots in the helo then the sea state surface speeds are probably moving closer to 40+ knots. The sea state and aerial water another matter. Ive not been out in circumstances that match that but Ive seen it and know enough not to want to be out there.

Scary, no doubt, life threatening, quite easily. Not to be too much of an armchair sailor but we get gusting way over 40 knots (even 50 - 60+) out here in the gulf all the time. Im not due to be reefing first reef until 25.

I think whats missing here is confidence in the boat, ... which is entirely fair.
