Having been out in force 7 & much greater in much more substantial boats than these, the correct answer is ALL! If you have really sailed in force 7 you would know it is the sea conditions/wave height that are the issue. None of these boats are suitable for those kind of conditions.

It's nearly winter, sailing season is over, I'm fighting a cold, and I'm a Grumpy Old Man On The Internet. With that caveat out of the way: What the heck? Who's "tapping out" first? The answer is: Me! I'm tapping out first. On *any* of those boats, including my own Marshall Sanderling 18. I'm heading back to the ramp or the closest available shelter in fricken' F7 conditions.

Of all these, the boat that's gonna "get in trouble" first is the one with the least experienced skipper and crew.
