No, not kidding. Of course I'm talking from a perspective of lots of flying experince and considerably less sailing experience, but a 30 knot crosswind landing is not much of a challenge. The certification and training involved assumes it is well within the capablity of the aeroplane and pilot. But berting a yacht into a tight slot in a crosswind is a nightmare if you don't have some people on the dock who know what they're doing ready to catch the warps.
I know which I find easier! (I was referring to the action rather than the consequences).
