Amazing, I used to do some sailing on real small 1 person catamarans. We got caught in some nasty weather once on the Chesapeake Bay, water was real choppy and wind gusting at 30+. The only good was a consistent direction, everyone capsized but me. When she stood up and I hiked as far as I could and it kept rising, I'd crank her into the wind, into the no go zone and reset. Those little dinghies, you try to run with the wind to get speed, that day the wind was blowing too hard at times. One guy tried it and it literally flipped him up and over. The mast got jammed into the bottom and we had to take turns diving down to hand shovel it out.
These guys riding these rigs, nuts man, I have a ton of respect for them. It's not easy at all and very physical. 8-1 and we win 8 straight to take it all, unheard of. Good fight by your boys mitch!
