I have been sailing in the Ocean for 15 years and only used Tow Boat 1 once. If I was a member it would have cost me $1,500 for that one tow when actually it only cost me $300.

I was out with five people on my Supercat 20. We had four people hooked out in harnesses, two on each side. It was the most fun I ever had on my boat. We had about 20 knots of wind and about 6' seas. We were flying a hull and I was able to get the boat completely out of the water when launching off of the waves. We launched off of one wave and hit the front side of the next wave flat and I heard a crack. The dolphin striker broke and the boat slowly folded in two. Both crossbars cracked in half and the mast came down.

Funny note: The origional dolphin striker post was made out of aluminum and when I got the new replacement, it was made out of stainless steel.
