Question 6

What is the max beaufront with which i can rent a boat?

Accepted Answer

The wind is the first thing we have to check before we sail off and it is the key factor that determines whether we can sail or not.
 
If the wind force is over 4 Beaufort it is prohibited by the port authorities. However, when the wind is between 3 and 4 Beaufort, the waves can spoil your fun (it is going to be very bouncy) so we don’t suggest sailing with that wind. Another case that we prohibit our boats to sail is that the wind is 2 Beaufort west. In these conditions the sea is very dangerous.
 
The ideal wind conditions are from 0 to 2 Beaufort (with the exception of 2 Beaufort west).
