Beach errosion over night Thursday... scale is tough to tell but the height of the sand drop is about 6 ft at peak.

It cracks me up that so many of the Hobie haters on here think that the Hobie 16 is a pitch pole machine and yet the good old 16 would have been out racing in twenty knots.
I hope the wind dies down for you guys.

There was one hobie 16 there and when I left, it was still on the trailer. I don't know what happened in the remainder of the weekend as I headed home... My son and I are 20 lbs under minimum on the I20 so going out in that stuff would not be considered being a responsible parent :-)

That lone Hobie 16 belonged to Bruce Williams. He did put it in the water and sailed single-handed even in the heavier winds on Sunday. CRAM may have damaged their reputation somewhat by catering more to the low portsmouth boats than high portsmouth boats. Hobie 16's and 18's did not show up this year...maybe because of excessive in between race waits and single lap courses of past Cat Fights. Not much fun for the paying customer IMHO. The majority of Hobies at Cat Fight VI were Tigers racing F18.

Friday morning was just plain mean. The only thing I would have felt comfortable on would have been a Hobie 14. By the afternoon, it was much more reasonable and more people went out to play.

Saturday was fun, despite the rain that came and went. The afternoon / evening was delightful. The wind slowly died off during the day until the last race it was marginal trapezing on the Tiger (with big waves for surfing downwind).

Sunday was just nuclear. The sun was out, making it "cheerfuly nuclear," but it was nuking, nonetheless. It was a blast.

Here's John (Tigerboy) and Giselle going out through the surf:

Much better graph Ken_H!!! Looks like the winds in Muskegon were about 10 higher than South Haven light.

CRAM

To be fair, CRAM is an OPEN club (I am a newer member).

The invitation was thrown out to all classes - see the NOR(including H-18 & H-16 cats).

They had a decent showing of Tornado class cats this year again...
