From the Hobie Cat website!!!! http://www.hobiecat.com/experience/learn.html

BALANCING THE BOAT
When sailing, sit on the upwind side of the boat (wind on your back) just in
front of the tiller, facing the sail. Balance your weight further outboard as
the boat begins to tip or HEEL over with the wind in the sails. Tuck one foot
under the hiking strap for balance. Use your hand that is forward to hold and
control the mainsheet. Use your hand that is aft to steer.


Yep...it's also called Flying a Hull...and HEELING, Gayanzy! The largest maker
of Cats shows you for the idiot you are!!!
I win AGAIN!!!!

FLYING A HULL
When sailing in strong winds the Hobie will normaly heel a little. If you
don't hike out enough to provide sufficient counter weight the windward hull
will lift out of the water. Once the windward hull is clear of the water, we
call this 'flying a hull'. A beginer should try to sail the boat with less
than 8* heel, any more than that and you will be flying your hull which may
lead to a capsize.

FLYING A HULL

Bad link, Porta Snotty!

No one said that flying a hull is the wrong term. Only your grirlfriend claimed
it wasn't heeling, which is the process of a sailing vessel "leaning over."
It's in the dictionary!

RB

YOU SAID IT WAS THE WRONG TERM. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
SAILING! YOU WIN AGAIN!

How desperate you are when you're BUSTED! I love the use of caps, as though
that might change what you said! I never said anything about flying a hull. I
only said that they HEEL and you said they DON'T HEEL!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

RB

YOU ARE A LIAR. I don't think I can be more clear than that.
