First big breeze on the Hobie 16, Amistad Reservoir

6/25/24
Second time on the Hobie 16, much more breeze this time around. Still a lot of things I need to get used to with the 16, including high wind tacking and line management. Ended up resorting to cheater tacks, and the mainsheet loved to take a swim. Got a little wire practice, didn't throw myself out there as much as I could have just with getting used to the bigger breeze. The high banks of Amistad due to its low water level definitely make the wind a little funky across the water.
00:00 - Don't mind my unlocked rudder, lol
02:23 - Running the rudders aground and taking the boat for a walk
10:55 - Wire practice
12:10 - More wire practice (with line management issues)
