I wore an old baseball hat all last season. My small brain creates an
unusual cone shaped taper to the top of my head so it blows off
constantly. We went back for it more times than I can count last year
and I still have it. I even picked it up alone several times.

I realize now that a hat is a lot easier to retrieve. Even though it
is very small and, being brown, nearly invisible in the water (great
practice for the return part of the maneuver), a grinning kid grabs it
with a boat hook and you are on your way.

Musto make a super sailing/baseball cap with a short strap and a crocodile
clip so strong it would pull the collar off your sailing jacket. Check it
out if you don't mind advertising the Musto name!
