Those numbers didn't sound right so I checked my 1965 M20C (short
rudder) manual which lists a demonstrated crosswind of 15 kt (17 mph).
I bet the M20J is higher than that.

No I promise you, it's 11 knots (at least it was on our 1982 M20J). That
doesn't necessarily mean that the M20J has less capability, just that Mooney
didn't certify it to that capability.
