I hope you have experienced crew. When coming back in pull your daggers back up. Always wear your life jacket. If you think conditions may be too rough , the probably are. Have fun. Enjoy. |

Welcome to your new addiction! Safety first. Check all your gear for cracks, frays, kinks, holes, rust, and replace when in doubt. An ounce of prevention saves a pound of cure. Learn to backwind the jib during a tack. Read a good book on sailing a catamaran. Ask every cat sailor you see for tips. Ask any question you want on this forum, but before you do, do a search to see if your question has already been answered. Make friends with a Hobie dealer and discover that a dealer's prices are very competitive, and are a font of knowledge and advice. |
