America Club

As the American Club warns, the unpredictable force of the wind, often underestimated, significantly impacts large sail area (profile) vessels, especially when moored. Their large sail areas expose them to potential beam wind hazards, leading to risks like a vessel breakaway that can result in a grounding, allision, collision, or damage to third party property.
