Matt:
The racing in Rochester was pretty nice; I'm guessing about 10-12 on Saturday and they had five races. On Sunday everyone was still sitting around at 11 a.m. because of no wind, so we struck the boat and made it back towards home.

I was racing Hobie 18s, so I didn't have the wings on. I think I'm going to buy the Hobie Bob because after twenty years of sailing these things, I'm starting to get sensitive in my old age. The Hobie Bob comes with a bracket that I can rivet to the top of my comp tip, while Hobie Mama and the smallest one require you to fashion your own; I'm not a machinist.

It's been so many years since I turtled; I just thought I knew how to prevent it.. I just don't want to be upside down on a boat twelve miles from shore when no one is around....The $200 will be another insurance policy.
