  • @DroverChicago They dont have kites though.

  • How many nose dives does it take to break the shock cord on the trap lines

  • @MrHobiecat

    The spinnaker on these boats are a little different than what you might see on other cats. On the 16 the kite will actually create "lift" getting the bow higher out of the water. As a result the kite, though it will make you fly a hull, it will help make pitch-poling much more difficult. (though as this video demonstrates still entirely possible)

  • worth watching the whole video to see the throw at 2:06

  • haha nothing is fun like trying to keep an overpowered cat under control

  • Get a Prindle -- they don't nosedive. XD

  • @MrHobiecat Overpowered = Crazy = Fun

  • WHY are you flying a spiniker on a windy day?!

    Or better yet, WHY do you have one on a boat that is already OVERPOWERED?!?!

  • not so easy to control the "nose-dive-machine" HC 16 under spi, isn't it? one small wave in the wrong leeward moment and you are off :)
