At first I didn't appreciate the scale of that cat, then I noticed the person... that thing's huge! A far cry from the little Hobie cat I've sailed

Very cool - when the wind is blowing sailboats can be a lot of fun...especially cats!

This is a a little rediculous thing to say in this thread, but I can't resist.

My first sailing experience was on a little hobie cat in Jamaica. My wife and I are cruising around, tacking up the cost, flying back down... I'm quickly becoming a pro

With the wind, sheet way out, I go to turn back up into the wind w/o tightening up first.

FLAP FLAP and the next thing I know I see my wife 6ft in the air falling toward me That thing flipped over faster than I could say "sh*t!"

Lesson learned though. Those little ones are a blast though and can really fly!
