Mine's tied to the dock with no less than six lines for the very same reason. I'm also considering adding outriggers, like those Hawaiian surf canoes. I'm going to call them "Training Sponsons".

Thanks Troutly - Sounds like I will get clamp on's if I go that route.
BTW - What are "snufflers" and why did HPI refund half the cost?

I can't wait for Lt. Troutly doing a public service announcement on:
SNUFFLERS
Would you please tape this and send me a copy to bring out at parties for laughter.

Sounds like my experience with with HPI, except I had the clamp-ons which resulted in a loss in power...but they were very quiet. But I was also overcharged $100 and Dan promised and promised he had sent the check out to me everytime I called...but he never did. On top of that they both blew off and Dan said he would take care of it...his words....his taking care of it was to give me $100 off after I bought another set! ....I would advise to buy through Livorsi Marine if you want the HPI's, but you're better off looking at another manufacturer.

Due to Dan's non-responsiveness to my issues I've had to seek legal action against him and HPI.
