Hey
On the weekend we finnaly had wind(30+) where i live and the first day (saturday) i took a kid out who weighed next to nothing say about 30kg and i weight 62kg. We capsized only once in 2hours which i felt was an acheivement since it was the first time this kid has ever sailed a hobie 16. We capsized on a close haul with the travelor all the way off and only the jib on and me still bering into the wind an we went over. The second day i went out with a person who weighed around the same as me and well we wen over 4 times in 30mins in the exact situation. I know i set th boat up different but dont know how i depowered my boat for the lighter kid. My question is how do you depower your boat and not lose too much speed and is there any thing i should look for when sailing in these winds. By the way im only 16years only and the crew was about 12 on satursay and 15 on sunday.Thanks
Jules
