Scott,

I sail my Hobie at Jordan Lake and have a catboat on Kerr Lake. We did spend a week in June at Emerald Isle and had perfect sailing weather for the Hobie all week in the ocean.

Having the sheet drag in the water is a pain. Once, my son-in-law and I were out double trapped and the sheet went into the water. He went in and pulled it back up then got back out and put his weight on the wire. Trouble is, he had come unhooked and didn't realize it. I watch him go past as I went on without him. The wind was so strong, I went over about 300 yards away from him and turtled. I got the boat up alone with all that wind on the tramp and a power boat brought him to me. All because the sheet went through the tramp.
