A few weeks ago, at Stevenson, WA in the Gorge. The launch is sheltered and great, but that means there is a huge windline when you get past the point (5 kts to 25 kts in a few feet). Usually not a problem - just don't cleat and be ready for it. However, was sailing solo on a craptacular "free" H16 and the mainsheet kinked and wouldn't feed out. Dump, over I go not 30 seconds from launching. Finally got it up after fighting to keep a good angle to the wind (strong current opposes the wind, so it likes to mess with the sail in the water if you aren't fast )to find additional "issues" with the boat...
