Yeah, Jake, I think it was when Rick got the Nacra 6.0 that he started having to cleat the main more -- especially since he was having a rotator cuff problem with his shoulder. Probably got that from raising the Nacra 6.0 mast!

By the way, it wasn't 15 years. We first capsized our Hobie 18 after we had it two or three years, and it happened in light air when we weren't even racing, just cruising leisurely around before the first start. Mainsheet was cleated, of course, because it was light air, no threat, and we were just relaxing. So one little gust of wind comes along from a different angle, and catches us off guard, and we're over. Surprise! And then, of course, we had a very hard time righting the boat, because there was only about 5 mph wind. It was all very embarrassing!

P.S. What's the deal with your disembodied head? Rather ethereal. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz.
