Your Comment Eric: I have had plenty of chances to watch Wally, Cliffy, BobO, Susie Kortz, Dan K and others. I have never observed any of them wild thinging downwind on a Hobie 16.

<br>You have not been to a Trapseat event then, because the top Trapseat sailors do the Wild Thing quite often. I do not watch Wally and those guys so I would not know about them. As a matter of fact the first time I ever saw someone do the wildthing on a cat (H16) was at the Trapseat Nationals in Redding California at Wisky Town Lake. When I saw them doing the wildthing I went around asking other sailors why they were lifting one hull while sailing down wind. Still on the H16 I think it is more of a mildthing than a wildthing but same principal.<br><br>
