Try going out in a storm. Water isn't so soft as you think, and when your

I don't think I've ever seen one under sail, always motoring along
with the skipper perched up in the air on that funny little helm seat.
Given the big outboards they are typically powered with and the
limited fuel range that implies, it seems doubtful they could make it
very far offshore. Somewhere on the internet is a video of a Hobie 33
surviving a 30 ft drop test into the water. Perhaps our friend would
be willing to volunteer his Mac for similar testing.
