Posts: 125 Clinton, Mississippi | Oh SH!^, here we go again! Go here, and you can read all the wisdom these forums (fora?) have to offer on the subject: http://tinyurl.com/gr3ejIf I may summarize.... The N 5.0 is apparently some magical craft that was delivered directly from the hand of God. The H-16 is a pitchpoling, "agricultural" relic of prehistoric times that's reserved for "thrashing monkeys". (I love mine, however.) I've seen the N 5.0 in action, but never sailed one....looks like a great boat. Jerome Vaughan (AKA Thrashing Monkey) Hobie 16 Clinton, Mississippi

Posts: 270 Nepean (Ottawa) Ontario Canada | sorry to be off topic here, but hrtsailor, you say you raise sails while out in the water and not on a beach??? if this is correct, i would really like to know how you do it, because i have the hardest time in the world getting the main up when not on a beach, if i am mistaken on what you mean, please correct me Newbie, I raise my Tiger sail all the time on the water, in fact I never raise it on land. After trying and fighting many hours I found / realized that it was best to launch the boat and pull it off a distance and moor it (using a "pull-off" "jokes off") Then I raise the sail with ease as the boat stays aligned with the wind. The beach that I keep my boat on is too small to manoeuver my Tiger so I have to raise my sail out of wind always. Because of various reasons I don't bother to launch into a headwind off my beach.
