What are the highest winds that you have fished in?
The highest winds I launched a boat in were 25-28 MPH, but the ramp was sheltered in a cove and it was easy.

45+, gusts to 50 at launch time on Tawakoni for a Texas Striper Association Tourney about 3 years ago and stinking cold. Fished against Stripaholic, Capn Joe, Team Family Style, Nauti-Pilots, and others, with HighTech Redneck winning it.
Never gonna do it again...man, those were some memories!!!
My body does not take those beatings well anymore, so I usually find something else to do when it hits 25...but will launch at 20 and below.

20-30 with gusts over 50. It isn't really a lot of fun. I don't mind 15-25 with gusts to 30. I catch a lot of fish on windy days.

Which hurricane was that? 
That's why they call it fishing and not catching!

forget to check the weather that day??? Bass Champs on Cedar Creek a few years ago. Blew all day with sustained gusts to 57mph. Pretty much blew 35-40 all day. It was crazy. They allowed trailering or it would have been impossible.

3 weeks ago at Lake Texoma on a dock. Waves crashing over the dock and 4-5 foot waves all over the lake. To add to that the wind chill was about 18.
