Max, great sailing -- loved your camera angle -- and music.
It sounds like you were possibly hitting the stops with your Mirage Drive -- if so, you might try adjusting the pedals forward one notch.

Our first sail on the TI with a bit of wind at 10-15 knots! No real idea of what speed we reached in the gusts, but in the smooth waters of the Hastings River at Port Macquarie, my guess is somewhere around 8-10 knots. Regardless, it was totally awesome, and my son Kobi's eyes were bugging out when the spray first started really flying! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB9_hwV5xX0[/youtube] |

Thanks Roadrunner! Yes, they are hitting the stops... I'll try moving them from 4 to 5, and see how it feels! |

Mate, that's just Yella Fever talkin. He didn't even put his sail in the wind.. Aside from the fact that he could TOW a TI an still pass one, you win hands down with that big Hobie grin and that great father/son moment. All without any $100K yacht payments! Thanks for posting it. |

G'day NOHUHU, it's the 'Yella Terra' going for it, can't wait till I'm up to speed, and get offshore for a bit of wild action!
