NOHUHU

I love that video an thanks for posting it! I really think that this is going to win her over before the demo days at my dealer in September! I asked them and they told me FOR SURE they will have a TI to demo and then I bet she will be the one pushing to get it! I'm telling you my master plan has got too work!!!

I've got a seat facing backwards if she chooses to use it...if not she can move around like your wife did and be just fine I bet. I also like the fact that it didn't looks like the rear end on your AI was below the water at all.

Of course how dry you will be, sitting in the rear, depends on how heavy you are.
I have demoed the AI lots of times kneeling on a foam pad in the rear deckwell just like Nohuhu's video.
Whenever I (at about 80 kgs) am in the rear the rudder lines are submerged. :(
Being lighter, my daughter and son-in-law remain relatively dry with plenty of freeboard:

I agree with Nohuhu. The tramps on the AI are a better 2 person solution.
The best 2 person solution though is the TI!
Good luck with your master plan. :wink:

BTW- Great video Nohuhu! 8)

The video is by a talented friend of mine, Ty Robinson. Knows his stuff. He does a great job w/ surf video too.

Like me, he's in the media business. Unlike him, I prefer to leave the camera at home. :wink: Sailing is my escape,

I'm piloting the other AI in the video.
