The difference between flying a hull and strapped to a dock is not a useful analogy unless you managed to fly a hull on the dock, which breaks either mast. Just dont fly a hull on the I20 and you'll be fine, but what fun would that be...



It's not complicated, just don't put two big fat guys on the F18HT and go out in 30 knots!
