Tim,

I went to your site, and check out your pics,

What a great combination of locations, and settings.

Love the water, sky, palm tree and sunset colors!

Thanks for sharing them with us!

Man, been there and done that with flipping a cat. Only way to get them up is a line across both sponsons and down around to the base of the mast. Hook the other end to a powerboat and accelerate smartly at a 90 degree angle to the cat. Gets even more interesting when the tip of the mast gets stuck in the mud. (Ugly too.)

I was trashed and Ricks and decided to jump off the higher cliff area. It sounded fun until I hit the water!

I have never known the older Hobie Cats to do this. I think the newer design is much wider on the deck than in years past and acts as a plane once it submerges and sucks the bow down.

I always enjoyed hiking out and getting it up on one side and if it went over on it side completely no big deal. Unless of course the float fails.....

I have never experienced until now going over end over end...

Two boats out of commission....
