Hi Dave, This is why "crew preventers" are so important! Even on a Mystere 6.0 with more hull buoyancy and bigger bows than any other twenty footer, if you fly forward, you are over! BUT, keep your weight fixed at the rear beam and you can stuff it and not go over. Try it and see for yourself. A "quick and dirty" system for grins is just to tie a couple lines on each hull from the rudder pins to hooks that you attach to the trapeze dogbone. You can use shock cord tied to the shrouds to pull them along side the hulls or just stuff them in the rear tramp pocket when not in use, especially when out pressing the boat for giggles. If you like this you can put something better on for long distance racing.

The hard thing for me to get used to was moving back far enough on this boat when pressing it hard because those big bows easily lure you into over confidence in pitchpole resistance. But, get back as far as possible and strap yourself in on a breezy day, and it is quite a treat!

Have fun!
