Hello again
I went down to the coast for some training on my hobie 16. The winds were up to 25nots (GREAT FUN). My crew and I kept on swoping positions and when i was crew i noticed the boat kept on trying to nose dive even if im going up wind which confused me. We ended up trapezing off the back of the boat all the time, up and down the wind. So I was just wondering how does a hobie 16 nose dive when going up wind and how can i prevent this? I weight about 68Kgs and so does he so we weigh 136Kg together. We did actually cart wheel the boat and we were runing the boat as fast as we could. Since i was crew i was the first one to go and when my skipper went the boat almost landed on him but i pulled him out off the way just in time. After the incident we just laught all the way in.
