I had my 16 out with a freind who also has a 1986 H16 and one with a H18 a couple of weeks ago. The Perfect wind for single handed trapping. So anyway, I get to sailing along at a pretty good clip when a large motor boat passed about a a little ways in front (not too close to be a problem). As the boat wake aproached I thought well Ill take it head on and skip over.
I did in fact skip over the first wave "aaa nice" and then realized how large the 2nd wake wave was. Before I could sheet out, there goes the leeward down deep into the wake quicky followed by the windward one. Next thing I see are the rudders in the air and I'm sitting in the jib.
Luckily no damage to me or the boat... I think Ill take it a little more carefully next time.
