Why do you say that? What's wrong with pitchpoling?

These multihulls pitchpole in smooth water. What's with that? Bad

Reminds me of when I was sailing in college... the most fun you can have
with your clothes on.

Only time I ever sailed a Hobi 16 we pitchpoled it in a thunderstorm
that came up suddenly. The shrouds tore out of the hulls and the mast
broke.



We sailed a larger hobi and a prindle.
