What boat is it? Not that many singlehanders with spi around. | | | Re: Caption contest anyone?

Posts: 3,293 Long Beach, California | Looks like a racked-out FX-One from Hobie Cat. Looks like the sail has had some work - is that a person-sized patch? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | You guys are all wet. He's obviously developed a new, low windage, method of snuffing the spinn. I think it's called the "Under the tramp, pull it in the sock with your hands" method. You'll all be doing it as soon as you figure out how. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Posts: 4,119 Northfield Mn | FX- "ONE mistake after another" Thats cold. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Being that I have to use a bucket, so my skinny butt can pull the boat back upright, I tied a loop in the righting line for the bucket so I could hook it onto my trap hook and fill the bucket leaned out and I don't have to hold the line while struggling to pull 80lbs of water at an awkward angle over my shoulder. I didn't think to remove the loop from the trap hook as I was trying to get back on the tramp as it came up and stay dry. I hadn't been in the water yet so I thought it was a good opportunity to try this, I literally hit the end of my rope and couldn't get back on. I thought it was funny picture being it was taken with me in such an odd position. | | | Re: Caption contest anyone?

Tim, I must learn this spin snuff technique you indicate. Sounds very fast and super studly-efficient. Must get lots of chicks...
