should'nt admit it ...but
went to stoney creek lake here in Michigan with my Nacra 450..gusting to 25 mph...used the boat launch did every thing right..except my 2 sons and my buddy all wanted to go at the same time...hmmm whats the weight limit..oh well does'nt matter lets go,we actually had a great time and she sailed well but we were close hauled and the leeward hull was allready digging when my biggest son decides to move forward to hold onto the mast...as I was yelling "no don't"
she stood right up on her nose and the jib was filling with water <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />..we all piled into one another like dominoes..
..she did a quick perouette on her nose and bobbed back up like a cork!!..we all started laughing with relief when "pop"
the sail filled and we were off again like a rocket..needless to say my son stayed rearward a bit..good times. but I think I should be more careful.

Ps There were to hobie 16's out as well..one of them pitchpoled rather violently twice and was turtled the second time..fortunetly nobody was hurt.
